As the fight of the century draws near, the world has been anticipating as to who will bag the victory. Will it be the humble and nice Manny Pacquiao, or will the undefeated and proud Floyd Mayweather Jr. win?
Pacquiao, being a guy too nice worries his camp. Since he is a celebrity, many people gather just to get close to him to get autographs and take a selfie with him. Pacquiao is extremely popular that even Hollywood celebrities visit him.
And just recently, according to Inquirer, some of his team members are worried that he might just be too nice exposing himself to many people and may possibly be in danger of getting an infection.
He’s exposing himself to infection at this crucial stage of his training.
According to one of his aides, a celebrity who visited Pacquiao seemed to have a bad cold sniffing and wheezing as that celebrity was interacting with Pacquiao. On another ocassion, there was also another pastor who was also coughing beside him.
Dr. Ian Banks, president of Men’s Heath Forum, says that when an athlete works out very hard, the steroids in his body increase, which actually decreases one’s immune protection.
Since Pacquiao arrived in the US, he has been entertaining fans signing autographs and taking selfies. Celebrities and politicians from the Philippines and from the US have also visited him. Among the popular ones were Keenu Reeves, Ronda Rousey, Jeremy Lin and Sylvester Stallone.
