PACQUIAO ARRIVES IN L.A. TO PREPARE FOR THE 'REAL FIGHT'


PhilBoxing.com




LOS ANGELES ? World eight-division boxing champion and Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao has finally arrived here around 7:30 p.m. on Saturday to start his preparation for what he dubbed ?real fight? of his life.

Pacquiao was accompanied in his trip by his younger brother Bobby Pacquiao and his Canandian adviser Michael Koncz.

Other members of Team Pacquiao led by Buboy Fernandez arrived in LA on the same day via Vancouver, Canada aboard Air Canada.

Many journalists were already waiting at the VIP exit of Los Angeles International Airport hoping to get a video footage or the chance to interview Pacquiao.

However, it was learned that an immigration officer in LA airport whisked Pacquiao and his entourage to the backdoor to avoid being swarmed by a horde of fans.

?The head of the immigration in LA led us to the backdoor. So I was not aware that many journalists were already waiting for us outside. My heartfelt apology to all of them,? Pacquiao said.

The Filipino boxing superstar was quite tired as he played with his KIA Team in the PBA before flying to LA.

On Sunday, he would be attending a Bible service, then go home afterward to take a rest.

The Pinoy ring icon would start his roadwork here on Monday morning then train at the Wild Card Gym of Coach Freddie Roach in the afternoon.

He said Justin Fortune and Buboy Fernandez will take charge of his training while waiting for Roach?s return slated on March 9.

Roach is currently in Macau for the scheduled March 7 fight of China?s boxing sensation Zou Shimming.

?I will prepare hard for this fight to give the boxing fans the kind of entertainment they want. This is what I consider the real fight of my life,? Pacquiao said.

Wild Card Gym is off-limits to spectators and the media during Pacquiao?s training and sparring sessions.
