...it's likely petroleum jelly put on by his cutman to protect a wound.
Petroleum jelly is put on the cuts and most likely areas of impact to make the skin more elastic and slippery, and hence less likely to tear. Some cutmen cover cuts with homemade salve containing a mix of petroleum jelly and adrenaline chloride, so that adrenaline keeps getting applied to the wound during the bout. Also, perspiration from above the eyes, will be prevented from reaching the eyes, by applying petroleum jelly to the eyebrows.
Are kangaroos really that aggressive? I was going to take Pacquiao, but if they're really that nasty I'm not so sure about that bet.
