Before they hit each other, Manny Pacquiao and Chris Algieri took some time out to hit some balls.
The Pacquiao-Algieri press tour rolled into AT&T Park in San Francisco, Calif., where the two reigning titleholders met with press, members of the San Francisco Giants baseball team and took a couple swings at the plate.
The WBO welterweight titleholder Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38 knockouts) and Algieri (20-0, 8 KOs) are on a 12-day press tour that begin in Macau – where the two will fight on November 23 at The Venetian – with stops in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Algieri’s home state of New York still to come.
Pacquiao, 35, regained the 147-pound crown in his last fight by avenging an earlier decision loss to Timothy Bradley, while Algieri, 30, won his first championship by upsetting Ruslan Provodnikov in June at a division lower.
Who had the better swing? You be the judge.
