Apparently, there are seven security guards patrolling the Pac-Man’s gym and they’re all packing heat.
The Mexicutioner is currently clocking up hours in the gym in preparation for his highly anticipated fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr.
It appears as if Pacquaio is taking every conceivable precaution in order to make sure that what his training regime for the bout remains under wraps.
Pacquiao’s gym, the Wildcard Boxing Club, is reportedly surrounded by seven armed guards ahead of the superfight on May 2.
Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s trainer, explained that the armed security patrolling the premises are employed to ensure that what’s happening during the boxer’s training camp remains behind closed doors. He added that the firearms the guards are carrying is to make sure that “people respect them.”
Roach recently revealed that the usually open gym will not allow viewers to witness Pacquiao getting ready for his upcoming contest against Mayweather. With $300 million (€274 million) on the line, the trainer is leaving nothing up to chance.
