The biggest fight boxing has seen in decades is just over 24 hours away and Manny Pacquiao has unveiled one of the crucial secrets to the matchup -- what music will be pumping him up before his career-defining fight against Floyd Mayweather tomorrow night. He has partnered with Spotify to share a 17-track playlist for what tracks will be getting the Filipino boxer's blood boiling and his muscles ready to go. Among those included are selections from Wiz Khalifa, Ed Sheeran, The Black Keys and Shakira.
Pacquiao starts things off with the timeless boxing classic, "Eye Of The Tiger" made legendary by Rocky before diving into a surprisingly mellow and well curated mix of funk, pop, hip-hop and electronic music.
He has a special affinity for Ashanti who has two songs on the playlist, but otherwise, more mellow electronic music and deep house seems to dominate his pre-show playlist. Besides the few upbeat pop jams, this is more of a playlist to get you in the zone then to get you bouncing off of the walls. Smart considering his bout tomorrow night could end up going the distance. Listen to the playlist below and see the full tracklist via Business Insider.
