More personal experiences at the old L&M...
Whenever it rains hard, and the conditions of the gym was really busted up, raindrops always dripped onto the old pipes from the roof onto the floor, and some boxers take a slide or slips when they step on a puddle of raindrops, and sometimes when they wipe the floor dry it still was slippery.
So what the rest of the **** there did was pool some loose change to buy COKE or PEPSI from the store and sprinkle it all over the floor to have the floor slip free and their shoes (or sandals sometimes) to have better grip. After that its all business.
The tyres used for sit-up grips are usually donations from the nearby quiapo bikeshops, others from friends. Bodybags that burst out are complemented with lotsa masking tapes and stuffed with sand sometimes obtained from construction sites of rebuilding schools.
Nowadays the place is crowded with onlookers mostly awaiting if Manny's gonna pass by, and when he does the peeps are stomach full and given cash on hand.Comment

GTO!!! He was scrawny because he didn't have the means to eat proper meals three times a day.
He was training with an empty stomach. He trained for hours and hours and after training he had to mop floors and to work odd jobs to make ends meet.
Pacquiao lived in awful conditions just like many boxers out there who were born out of extreme poverty.
YOU ARE SUCH TRASH. HATE does not have a place here. I don't have respect for scum like youComment

When hate blinds a mans eyes, not only does he not see what we see, he chooses not to look for it.Comment

The Mayweathers and *****s are just butt hurt that Pac has been recognized as the fighter of the decade and has gotten way more recognition than Floyd for his relentless style and aggressiveness than to Mayweather's calm and calculated approach...Comment

Talk to me if he has ducked or his way of talking, then yeah I don't like him that much.
As for the Video, what is that suppose to do?
I'm a boxing fan, aswell as a supporter of certain fighters.
I pay and stay up to 4AM to watch boxing. It is the sport I love, I am not gonna cry over a lost.
It's ****ing boxing, I expect a winner and loser. Maybe you would cry or take 10 pills if Mayweather loses, but I'm a fan of the sport, but more a fan of life my friend.

I actually appreciate and accept Floyd's skills. I don't like him, but talk about what he is in the ring, I don't say any bad.

Honestly you are wasting your time as that guy is obviously a loser in real life. I mean who comes on the internet and talks **** about a guy who doesn't even know you exist. Not only that, who dedicates that much of their life to hating on another person. I think if he didn't have the internet, NSB and the Pac steroid allegations, he would kill himself due to him not having any purpose in life. I don't even get mad at guys like this, and actually feel sad at the thought that somebody out there actually lives such a pitiful life....smhComment
