Manny Pacquiao plagued with leg cramps
It's not going away. Manny Pacquiao and his trainer, Freddie Roach, can't choose to ignore it. So, they're confronting it -- the medical issue currently plaguing Pacquiao.
The culprit? Leg cramps.
According to Roach, who spoke with Yahoo Sports, Pacquiao is currently dealing with the cramps as he trains for Floyd Mayweather. It's an issue that has popped up in some of his previous fights. And now, it could hurt his chance to bring down Mayweather on May 2, especially considering Pacquiao relies on his speed inside the ring.
So, Roach and Pacquiao are exploring all possible avenues, including using an anti-inflammatory cream, which the USADA cleared for usage, on Pacquiao's calves. The cream cost $1,800.
"I wasn't too happy about that," Roach told Yahoo Sports, regarding the steep price for the bottle of cream.
And that's not all the Pacquiao camp is doing to stymie the cramps. According to Roach, they've got doctors on the case. Pacquiao is also receiving massages. In other words, they're exhausting every option.
"There's no magic cure for it," Roach said. "We're doing what we can do."
Part of his plan to keep Pacquiao healthy involves changing Pacquiao's workout routine, in order to avoid shin splints. So, the hills are out and sprints are in. As previously reported, Pacquiao will no longer run hills and will, instead, workout at UCLA's track.
"When he was young, it was OK, but he's getting a little older and the wear and tear of going up that hill, which is all concrete, is really not good for his legs," Roach said. Still, Roach maintains that Pacquiao "is on fire," despite the medical issues.
But whether or not the cramps affect his ability to be a mobile, dizzying fighter -- a fighter good enough to hand Mayweather his first ever loss -- on May 2 remains to be seen.
