Can we talk about Manny Pacquiao’s calves for just a minute?

Nike released a short commercial on Friday featuring Manny Pacquiao training in dramatic black and white with isolated audio -- “BUH BUH BUH BUH” etc. The entire video is captivating, but there’s a subtle star: Look at this calves.

What’s his secret? From Pablo Torre’s profile in ESPN:

There are three different men who rub Pacquiao’s comically sculpted calves once a day, each taking a morning, afternoon or evening shift. (Like many on this endless payroll, these masseurs aren’t trained professionals.)Nice.
