Manny Pacquiao was hospitalized a week before his fight with Lucas Matthysse with a heart problem, according to a report.
Aquiles Z. Zonio of PhilBoxing.com reported Thursday that Pac-Man was quietly taken to hospital on July 8, a week before his fight against Matthysse. Pacquiao underwent tests, including an angiogram that revealed an innate congenital condition.
The doctors did not want Pacquiao to fight Matthysse after the condition was discovered, so the Filipino boxer and the politician signed a waiver before his fight. He left for his trip to Kuala Lumpur on July 9, a day after his tests.
According to Zonio, only a few members of Pacquiao took him to the hospital for testing. They all kept quiet and did not even tell Pac-Man's family not to worry about them.
Despite fear and hospitalization, Pacquiao did not slow down in the ring. He beat Matthysse by technical knockout, scoring his first knockout win since 2009.
