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 up a quick picture as Pacquiao laced up his gloves.
