    I've heard a couple of times now that hagler was known to eat packets of bourbon creams on the day of a fight.is this true and if so what would he gain from it,is it something to do with sugar intake ?

    I don't know. I know he used to eat beans on toast before some fights, though.

    It doesn't really matter what you eat prior to a fight as long as you're getting in a lot of carbs and some protein.

    Usain bolt claims to eat McChicken nuggets before races. Don't believe him though.

    They're a natural testosterone booster as well, not many people know that.

    9 carbs per biscuit is damn good. Obviously Hagler had lean beef or chicken or fish prior to a fight as does every athlete but biscuits are a good treat, relatively light on the stomach and are packed with carbs.

    Sounds like guerilla marketing to me.
