He has however found no success. In an article in The Sun, he has said that he tells every sparring partner he hires, ‘You knock him down, I give you a thousand bucks’.” “And I’ve kept a thousand in my pocket.”

Boxing legend Pacquiao, 42, is preparing for his pay-per-view showdown against welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. on August 21 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
He will face his ‘biggest challenge’ yet in his bout against Spence, a fighter that’s taller and 11 years younger than him.
So far, Spence has refused to acknowledge his advantages attributing Pacquiao’s longevity to the Filipino fighter’s self-discipline.
