Tim Tebow shows support for Manny Pacquiao before Pacman's fight with Floyd Mayweather
Manny Pacquiao has plenty of celebrity endorsers.
Mark Wahlberg, Bob Dylan, Justin Timberlake and Brad Pitt are just some of the names that have been known to stop by Freddie Roach’s Wild Card Gym to watch the future hall of fame boxing great work his magic.
Currently, Pacquiao is preparing for his upcoming mega-fight with undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather on May 2 in Las Vegas. A report surfaced this week that Mayweather has been working over a former champion in a sparring session, and Pacman is countering with some training camp help of his own.
Well, maybe not "help." But definitely star power. Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow recently stopped by Wild Card and endorsed the 36-year-old with the type of positive vibes that only a man like Tim Tebow can.
Not only do Pacquiao and Tebow share a bond of faith, they also share the same country of birth, as Tebow was born in the Phillipines to missionary parents.
With rumors swirling of a possible NFL return for Tebow, Pacquiao is in the midst of a revival of his own. He has three wins in a row since suffering a brutal knockout loss at the hands of Juan Manuel Marquez in 2012 and a win over Mayweather would set the boxing world on fire and reignite the discussion of ‘who is this generation’s greatest fighter?’
Perhaps this type of positivity powwow is just what Tebow and Pacuqiao need – a true match made in…Hollywood.
