He's ready

“You have to survive. You have to go through the hard work before you get the crown.”

Manny Pacquiao is ready for Floyd Mayweather.

The fight of a generation is just days away with two of the all-time greatest prepared to go toe-to-toe in the ring on Saturday night and Pacquiao has given us an insight into his training for the fight.

The Filipino boxer stars in a cool new Nike ad where it goes from the hype surrounding him, some of the tough training he goes through and what goes on inside that head of his in the build-up to such a mammoth clash.

You can see why he’s so fleet-footed with a lot of his training geared around footwork and you can also see why he’s not afraid to take a slap and keep coming back for more because he’s so tough upstairs.

With the fight inching closer, we can’t get enough of what’s going on inside each camp and this has filled us up for the evening anyway.

“Preparing physically, spiritually, and mentally will assure victory.”
