By Carlo Pamintuan

Hollywood action film legends Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger were among the last visitors of WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao and challenger Chris Algieri before the two fought in a jam-packed Cotai Arena at The Venetian in Macau.

Stallone and Schwarzenegger first dropped by Pacquiao’s locker room, which was shown on the big screen to a chorus of cheers from the crowd. The two even snapped a quick picture as Pacquiao laced up his gloves.

The legends then walked into Algieri’s locker room as the American prepared for the biggest fight of his career.

Aside from the two, other stars like Hong Kongs's Daniel Wu, comedian Dave Chapelle, and Jermaine Jackson of the Jackson Five were also in attendance.

Filipino celebrities and politicians also flew to Macau to show their support for Pacquiao, including Robert Jaworksi, former Manila Mayor Lito Atienza and actor Phillip Slavador.

Pacquiao would go on to successful defend his WBO Welterweight title with a brutal demolision of his opponent, knocking Algieri to the canvas six times.
