It has been another well-documented camp from the Wild Card Boxing Club this time around for Manny Pacquiao and by all reports he has been looking in peak form in sparring the likes of Shawn Porter, David Rodela, Raymund Beltran, and Karim Mayfield over the past weeks. Pacquiao is gearing up for a showdown this coming May 7th against Shane Mosley, a bout set to take place inside of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and while the reports from his camp have been glowing, all good things must come to an end.
Pacquiao is scheduled to hit Las Vegas late Monday night and will officially make his grand arrival inside of the MGM Grand at Noon. The fight marks Pacquiao’s return to a city that he has grown fond of, as he saw his two bouts last year, against Joshua Clottey and Antonio Margarito, take place at Cowboys Stadium just outside of Dallas, Texas. Prior to that, Pacquiao’s last six fights had taken place in Nevada.

On this particular Friday Pacquiao engaged in what is likely his last hard day of sparring before making yet another trek to Sin City. Afterwards he could be found inside of the Nike Vault Store in downtown Los Angeles where select merchandise linked to Pacquiao was being featured.
Pacquiao is a clear betting favorite over Mosley and if victorious, many are pointing to him facing off with Juan Manuel Marquez for a third time in either October or November.
