We are less than a month away from the highly anticipated bout between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather. Ahead of the matchup, famed attorney Robert Shapiro gave Pacquiao a piece of equipment to train with that includes a picture of his opponent’s face.
When Shapiro paid Pacquiao a visit recently, he came bearing gifts. Shapiro presented the welterweight champion with a punching bag containing an image of Floyd Mayweather. Not that Pacquiao needed any extra motivation in getting ready for the upcoming fight, but seeing your opponent on the speed bag certainly doesn’t hurt. This isn’t the first time Mayweather has been found on the punching bag of a fighter. Victor Ortiz used a photo of Mayweather as motivation prior to their fight in 2011.
In just a couple of weeks, Pacquiao will get to hit the real Floyd Mayweather, if he can’t through Mayweather’s airtight defense.
