Manny Pacquiao should be accustomed to training through typhoons by now.
The owner of the minor WBO welterweight title has been preparing for his fight on Nov. 20 against Antonio Margarito in his Philippines homeland, where Typhoon Megi recently struck.
The typhoon killed at least 20 and destroyed thousands of homes and farms.
Promoter Bob Arum tells The Associated Press by phone from Manila that the brunt of the storm missed Pacquiao’s training camp in the mountains near Baguio City.
Roads were flooded and trees knocked over, but the fighter and his entourage were safe.
In September 2009 while training for a fight, a pair of typhoons struck the archipelago within a week of each other. That resulted in hundreds of deaths and a half billion in damages.
