International R&B sensation
Beyonce Knowles listed
Manny Pacquiao as one of her favorite athletes during a televised ESPN interview, reports
PEP.ph. “Even Pacquiao, I love him because I really relate to people who were born to do something and gets lost in the moment,” she is quoted as saying. “
When he gets in the ring, he's a beast! I love it! And he shows you can have
humility and be a calm person and also be
driven when it's time and be a fighter."
Even actor
Mark Wahlberg has
expressed his admiration of Manny’s pugilistic skills. The Hollywood star watched Manny's training sessions as preparation for his role in
The Fighter.
