Today's the first day since his self-imposed media blackout that Manny Pacquiao will be around to speak to reporters again. As part of his scheduled media day, he'll be available at Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles, where a new piece of equipment is hanging in his training space: a speedbag painted by artist Gena Milanesi with Floyd Mayweather's face on it. Rather bizarrely, Robert Shapiro, the attorney who beat O.J. Simpson's murder charge in 1995, presented the gift to Pacquiao and trainer Freddie Roach at the gym:
