LOS ANGELES – What does a former Philippine Senator, a music star and giddy fans across Southern California have in common? They were all part of the large group of fans and media that watched Manny Pacquiao’s workout at the Wildcard Boxing Club last March 5. Former Philippine Senator and Philippine Basketball As-sociation star Robert Jawor-ski, Black Eyed Pea’s Allen Pineda also known as Apl.de.Ap and Filipinos across Southern California wit-nessed a more focused and determined Pacquiao during open media day workouts.
From the look of the three-hour session, Filipino boxing sensation Pacquiao appears primed and ready for his upcoming re-match against World Boxing Council Cham-pion Juan Manuel Marquez at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on March 15.
Trainer Freddie Roach de-scribed the training camp as “the best” in a long time, a far cry from Pacquiao’s preparations in his second bout against Marco Antonio Barrera.
