CHICAGO?As advertised in last Saturday?s column (?Pacman on the phone? SSC 10-18-25), here?s more of the 27-minute phone interview Manny Pacquiao generously indulged me while he was nestled at the Radisson Hotel in San Antonio last week to promote his Nov. 15 duel with Marco Antonio Barrera.
As his handsome record (37-2-1, 29 KOs) indicates, Manny toils hard for each upcoming fight. And realizing that a Barrera conquest will unhinge the doors that lead to more riches and fame, Manny is kicking his training up a notch, hitting punching bags with maniacal zeal, and keeping his focus steady.
