Manny Pacquiao is doing very well in training camp for his upcoming fight with undefeated, pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. The fight is scheduled for May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. On Wednesday in Los Angeles, the two fighters met face to face for their only press conference at the Nokia Theater until the fight week.
The eight division champion Pacquiao ”looked great” in his recent workout with Freddie Roach at the Wild Card Gym.
Longtime adviser Michael Konz denied a report that Pacquiao suffered crams while jogging at Griffith Park on Tuesday, while ABCS-CBN reporter Dyan Castillejo who spoke to Pacquiao said it was only some pain he suffered when suddenly running uphill.
Koncz told BoxingScene.com/New Standard/Viva Sports - “Manny didn’t suffer from cramps and he’s fine while training was great.”
Pacquiao himself brushed it aside and said it was only some pain and there was nothing to worry about.
The Filipino star is expected to begin sparring sometime next week after two of his sparring partners arrive in Los Angeles on Sunday.
