Nike's third installment of Inner Strength puts the focus on Manny Pacquiao in the lead up to his much-anticipated fight against Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas on May 2. In this episode, Nike delves into the boxer's training and preparation methodologies, and the fact that he has to contend with more than just a sparring partner. In addition to the expectations of more than 100 million Filipinos, Pacquiao is perpetually surrounded by fans, training partners, business partners, media and entrepreneurs looking for something from him. When you add up the potential distractions he faces in any given day, focus becomes the most important element of Pacquiao’s training and preparation.
