LOS ANGELES ? Fans shouted his name as Sylvester Stallone drove out of the Wild Card Gym in his metallic silver Mercedes sedan.
Stallone, who manned the wheel, was happy to see the fans. He briefly stopped and rolled down his window.
A female TV reporter from the Philippines was at the right spot.
The Hollywood icon, who came to watch Manny Pacquiao train, was asked for his thoughts about the Filipino fighter.
?He?s the best. He?s the best,? said Stallone as fans, mostly Filipinos, cheered and fired away with their cameras.

?Of course,? said the 68-year-old actor, who arrived at the gym at around 2 p.m. and stayed on until training was over.
Pacquiao sparred 12 rounds.
They horsed around for a souvenir shot inside the gym.
Stallone, who?s Rocky and Rambo on the big screen, is a regular visitor when Pacquiao trains in the United States.
At one point, there was talk that Pacquiao would appear in a Stallone movie. But nothing really came out of it.
Stallone is just among the big-name celebrities who had come to visit Pacquiao in this training camp.
There?s Robert Duval and Mark Wahlberg. Then came Karl Malone and Jeremy Lin.
UFC star Ronda Rousey and Liam Neeson.
The list goes on.
