Filipino boxing star Manny Pacquiao is showing off hand speed as he begins training for the $300 million welterweight title fight against unbeaten American Floyd Mayweather.

The Filipino star posted more videos on Instagram from his Los Angeles training camp on Wednesday as he starts to spend more time in the gym in the run-up to the bout, according to a report in Daily Mail.

"Day 3 of my gym work out i feel slow but i'm not worried because i still have a lot of time. Thank you Lord for strengthening me day by day. God Bless everyone." Pacquiao (emmanuelpacquiao) posted on March 5.

The eight-division world champion cranked into serious preparations for the May 2 fight after flying in for his training camp from his native Philippines.

On Monday, Pacquiao ran two miles (3.2 km) and shadow-boxed for two rounds, followed by abdominal work and breakfast of steamed rice, scrambled egg, fish and chicken broth.

Then he napped until noon and had lunch before heading to trainer Freddie Roach's Wild Card Gym, which is strictly off-limits to fans and media during Pacquiao's sessions.

"I will prepare hard for this fight to give the boxing fans the kind of entertainment they want. This is what I consider the real fight of my life," said Pacquiao, 36.

Pacquiao (57-5 with two drawn and 38 knock-outs) will face Mayweather (47-0 with 27 knock-outs) in Las Vegas in a fight long craved by boxing fans on May 2 in Las Vegas.
