MANILA, Philippines – Floyd Mayweather Jr is going old school in training for his May 2 fight with Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The 38-year-old Mayweather (47-0, 26 knockouts) channeled his inner-Joe Louis in a video posted to his Instagram account, as he hacked away at a log with an axe, decked from head-to-toe in Money Team gear.
The practice was a staple of boxing training in years past, with fighters like Rocky Marciano, Muhammad Ali and George Foreman filling newsreels with footage of the uber-manly chore.
Pacquiao, meanwhile, is training in Los Angeles at the Wild Card Gym. ESPN reports that sparring will begin on Tuesday, March 17 U.S. time, but that junior featherweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux will not be one of his sparring partners, despite reports to the contrary.
Mayweather wasn’t done posting videos on social media, uploading a video montage of his training to his Facebook account.
