World Boxing Council lightweight champion Manny Pacquiao has appealed to his friends and fans to refrain from giving him a visit when he starts training at the Wildcard gym in Los Angeles, especially those who are contracted with cough and colds.
In his column ?Kumbinasyon?, Pacquiao explained that his coming fight with boxing?s Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya on December 6 would be the biggest challenge of his career, and therefore, he needs to be very careful with his health.
?Sa mga panahong ganito kung saan ako ay may kaunting karamdaman, ipinapaalala sa akin na hindi ako si Superman,? Pacquiao stated.
?Inuulit ko po ang panawagan sa aking mga fans at kaibigan na kung may mga nararamdaman na silang hindi maganda gaya ng sipon at ubo, sana naman ay ibahin na nila ang petsa ng kanilang pagbisita sa akin. Itong laban na ito ang pinakamatinding pagsubok sa aking career at hindi po biro ang makakalaban ko?si Oscar Dela Hoya, ang Golden Boy ng boxing,? Pacquiao explained.
Last Tuesday, the 29-year-old Pambansang Kamao failed to show up at the Wildcard gym, after suffering from minor colds, which according to him may be due to many people that greeted him when he arrived Sunday night, from the airport and even in his La Palazzo apartment.
?Sa airport pa lang, mainit na akong sinalubong ng aking mga fans at mga kaibigan. Hanggang sa aking apartment sa Los Angeles, tuloy pa rin ang pagdating ng sari-saring mga taga-suporta hanggang sa dinapuan na ako ng kaunting karamdaman. Kasama na rin siguro ng jet lag at kawalan ng sapat na tulog, ang pabago-bagong temperatura at ang pagkalat ng virus sa tinatawag na flu season, kaya ako nagkasakit,? he added.
But, according to Pacquiao, he was happy to see his friends and fans who like him are excited with his megabucks fight with De La Hoya at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.
