By Raj Parmar: It appears that there is a minor bit of tension brewing in Manny Pacquiao’s training camp as he prepares for the fight of his life against the top boxer in the world Floyd Mayweather Jr. Manny’s strength and conditioning coach Justine Fortune has appeared to show some frustration with the Filipino icon as they head into their final few weeks of training.

It has become accustomed for friends and fans of Manny to join his outdoor exercising sessions, and this past weekend they were disappointed to learn from Fortune that the “Pacman” was not going to make his scheduled run.

Fortune seemed disappointed with eight weight division champion’s focus as he explained the status of where training camp is currently at.

“Manny won’t run today. It is not the end of the world, but we do it for a reason,” Fortune said to USA Today, “He is not going to run, but we will make up for it with the work we do later. I make it hard for him but he needs to suck it up. Fighting Mayweather is not easy, either. There are always consequences.”

This comes amid reports that leg cramps have been plaguing Manny’s running exercises in recent weeks. Despite the complications that seem to be creeping up as Manny gets himself in top physical condition for May 2, members of his entourage such as former WBC light flyweight world champion Rodel Mayol insist that Manny is extremely motivated to end Floyd’s run as boxing’s best fighter.

“For this fight it is amazing,” Mayol said. “I see he doesn’t get tired, not like before he fought (Chris) Algieri, (Shane) Mosley, Juan Manuel Marquez – then he took it easy. This time he is very motivated.”

It is probably a very realistic assumption to say that both Manny and Floyd both want to win this fight more badly than any other fight they have ever partaken in and thus are training for it harder than ever. Boxing commentator Teddy Atlas spoke at the Mayweather-Pacquiao press conference about the dangers of over-training in the gym when a boxer wants to badly defeat his opponent, as it can lead to a fighter peaking while still in training and becoming a bit weakened by fight night.

Atlas used Marvin Hagler as example for when he fought rival Sugar Ray Leonard. Hagler trained harder than usual due to his eagerness to take down Sugar Ray and thus lost a little bit of effectiveness in ring, eventually losing a close decision to Ray in what was both their career defining fight. Therefore if both Manny and Floyd are training at higher than their usual levels, a day off by Manny might not have been the worst thing for his body despite Fortune’s worries.
