LAS VEGAS ? Care to know what was on Manny Pacquiao dinner table shortly after he made the weight limit for Saturday?s featherweight rumble with Juan Manuel Marquez at the MGM Grand?
After coming in at 125 lbs, Pacquiao went straight back to his hotel room and feasted on a generous serving of beef soup, mixed vegetables, hard-boiled eggs, rice and a glass of freshly-squeezed orange juice that were all prepared at the residence of trainer Freddie Roach?s mother just a few miles away from the famous Strip.
“I think that beef soup is his favorite,” said Roach, who will be the man in charge of the Filipino?s corner. He will be assisted by cutman Lenny de Jesus, conditioning coach Justin Fortune and Filipino training assistants Buboy Fernandez and Lito Mondejar.
