text: Manny Pacquiao traded hill runs and graft in the Wild Card Boxing gym for a touch of Hollywood glamour as he appeared on friend Mario Lopez’s Extra programme on Wednesday. The Filipino superstar took a break from preparations for his $300million superfight against Floyd Mayweather on May 2 to be interviewed at the show’s base at Universal Studios. Just that morning Pac-Man was doing the hard yards ahead of the bout around his Los Angeles base, wearing trainers, shorts and a woolly hat for a road work session as the sun came up.

The video of him and his entourage charging up a hill was followed by an image posted of Pacquiao working the bag and reaffirming his commitment to the mammoth task that awaits him in Las Vegas against the Money Man. ‘Every day I must focus. In the gym and outside the gym. It's not easy but I have to focus and work hard everyday!’ said Pacquiao's profile. Hours later he was ever the entertainer in dark sunglasses and a leather jacket as he laughed and chatted with his friend Lopez, famed for his work on Saved By The Bell.

Doesn't get cooler than that,’ Lopez posted on his Instagram.
