PACMAN: "I WILL GIVE FANS THE KIND OF ENTERTAINMENT THEY WANT"


PhilBoxing.com




World eight-division boxing champion and Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao has started his serious training early Monday morning by running a two-mile stretch from his home to Pan Pacific Park here.

Pacquiao was accompanied during the roadwork by his younger Bobby Pacquiao and some former Filipino boxers who are already based here.

After the jogging Pacquiao spent two rounds shadow boxing then capped his early morning training performing the excruciating abdominal exercises.

Conditioning coach Justin Fortune, assistant trainer Buboy Fernandez and another training aide Flash Fernandez were present during the whole duration of Pacquiao?s early morning grind.

Fortune said the first two weeks will be spent for conditioning then sparring sessions will start after that.

?Coach Freddie Roach hired a slick sparring mate ? a black guy and a former Olympian who is a Mayweather look-alike when it comes to fighting style,? Fortune bared.

Roach is scheduled to return here after the fight of Chinese boxer Zhou Shimming in Macau on March 7.

The Pinoy ring superstar has amazed even members of his team with his speed during the early morning run.

?Did he start his training early in General Santos. His speed and stamina is already evident?? Clem Asencio, one of the pioneering members of Team Pacquiao asked.

After the jogging, the boxer-lawmaker went home to take his breakfast composed of steamed rice, scrambled egg, fish and chicken broth.

He went to sleep afterward then wake up noontime to take his lunch then headed to the Wild Card Gym around 2:00p.m. for his scheduled afternoon training session.

Pacquiao arrived here early Saturday morning. Journalists were already waiting at the VIP exit of Los Angeles International Airport hoping to get a video footage or the chance to interview him.

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.

On Sunday, Pacquiao attended a Bible service, then go home afterward to rest.

Pacquiao vowed to prepare hard for his May 2 encounter with undefeated American boxer Floyd Mayweather,Jr.

?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 sessions.
