On July 19, boxing legend Manny Pacquiao is scheduled to return to the ring for the first time in over four years to fight Mario Berrios for the WBC welterweight championship in Las Vegas.

In the lead-up to the match, the 46-year-old is engaging in various forms of press that document his daily life and workout routine. The "Twitch and Kick" streamer N3on, full name Rangesh Mutama, was hanging out with Pacquiao, and his actions during a meal are catching everyone's attention.

N3on and his security team gathered around Pacquiao to have a meal, and when the former champ saw one of the streamer's security guards not eating, he began to play host and offered him food.

Pacquiao pointed to the security guard and gestured to his mouth, "You didn't eat?"

"I'm fine. Yeah, I ate before this," the guard responded while miming eating from a bowl.

Pacquiao insisted, "You gotta eat."

Over a hot mic, N3on can be heard questioning himself as Pacquiao shuffles away to give food to others, "Was that a bad question?"

Pacquiao grabbed two big plates of food and handed them to the guard.

In the background of the video, you can hear the guard and others saying thank you and showing appreciation to Pacquiao.

The fatherly instincts of Pacquiao are shown through his actions. A father of six, Pacquiao is more than a boxer. He was also a public servant and senator in his native Philippines.

Widely considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters of all time, Pacquiao has a 62-8-2 record with 39 wins by knockout.

His upcoming opponent, Barrios, has a 29-2-1 record with 18 wins by knockout. He has held the WBC welterweight championship since 2024.

The pair will fight next month at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
