Manny Pacquiao has only eight weeks to go into deep training for his May 8 fight in Las Vegas against Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez, but he is not alarmed.
The Filipino assured his handlers he will be in top shape in May. ?Don?t worry boss,? he told his business manager Rod Nazario.
After receiving his Ring Magazine championship belt a few days ago in Malaca?ang, Pacquiao returned to his native General Santos City. ?Huwag kayong nerbyusin, ako ang lalaban. Pabayaan nyo na ako. Ako ang bahala,? he further assured his handlers.
Pacquiao said the same thing when he went up, and convincingly won, against Marco Antonio Barrera last year at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
But there was one thing that differed then. Against Barrera, the Filipino trained like he never did in the past.
Pacquiao has not been to the gym, although he claimed he has been doing early-morning roadwork in preparation for his trip to the US next week.
