Asakura trained briefly with Manny Pacquiao's trainer, Buboy Fernandez, prior to the fight. He even uploaded a video of it in his YouTube channel.

Before the match, Pacquiao entered the arena to the tune of "Eye of The Tiger" by Survivor. The Filipino icon spoke on stage, saying, “(Asakura) came to the Philippines and asked for my advice on technique; I shared with him. He can punch and box. I’m excited to watch him tonight. I’m Asian; I support Asians. That’s why I’m here to support this exhibition match.”

In the formal introductions when the traditional passing of flowers were to be presented to Mayweather, the person doing so stunningly dropped them at Mayweather’s feet instead.
