    Pacquiao training in Mexico like Dracula at blood bank

    Michael Marley




    It’s like having Dracula as the special guest at a blood bank.

    Those won't be chicken bones Drac is sucking on.

    It's like taking a prison to Abu Ghraib and telling him he will really enjoy the surfing nights.

    It’s the same as having fans of opposing teams sit in the Oakland Raiders end zone nut job section.

    It’s like having Sarah Palin (rhymes with failing) speak in front of the white wine ******** on Martha’s Vineyard.

    It’s like inviting Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates over to a cop bar on a Fraternal Order of Police party night.

    It’s insane, that’s what it is, having the Mexicutioner, Manny Pacquiao, train in the Otomi mountains of Mexico for his Nov. 14 bout against Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico.

    Pacquiao, the guy who mastered Erik Morales.

    Pacquaio, the guy who battered Marco Antonio Barrera.

    Pacquiao, bandito with boxing gloves who dropped Juan Manuel Marquez to the floor four times in two bouts.

    I mean, what’s next having the Boston Strangler show people how to do the Heimlich Maneuver?

    I am choking up here.

    Next thing you know they will have Panama Lewis and Antonio Margarito’s trainer Javier Capetillo giving seminars on how to honestly wrap a fighter’s hands.

    Or Paris Hilton and Linsey Lohan will take their party hearty selves to a nunnery and sign up for a balck and white habit.

    On the surface, it sounds insane having Pacman train in the country which he has tortured by beating its best boxers.

    But it’s a actually a sound idea.

    The Mexican will embrace Pacquiao.

    One reason is that Mexicans and Filipinos, both once under the rule of Spain, are ethnic cousins anyway.

    The biggest reason is that Mexicans love the sport of boxing and warmly embrace any excellent practitioner of the sport.

    Once in Mexico City, I met native soccer superstar Hugo Sanchez. I asked him if his popularity compared to that of Mexican ring idol Julio Cesar Chavez.

    Sanchez laughed and then graciously told me he might be in second place but that his country’s love for El Gran Campeon could not be matched.

    The Otomi mountains served as hallowed training grounds for the great champion from Culiacan, Sinaloa.

    Now they can make way for another Hall Of Famer, a first cousin from the Philippines.

    Viva Mexcio!

    Viva Philippines!

    Mayweather claimed he loves Mexico but he never trained there.

    This news might really send Juan Ma over the cliff or should I say the Otomi mountains?

    Now Pacman and Pacmania is invading his homeland.

    My sombrero is packed and ready to go.



    lmao!

    Mexico is a good enviroment to train for boxers.

    You got high elevation and also sea beside it and good weather from time to time with not alot of publicity to come.

    As well as very good sparring partners

        Hopkins threw the Puerto Rican Flag and is abit ****y.

        But Pac looks humble and does do alot of publicity stunt.

        He also a friend of Erik Morales and some Mexicans are good fans for Pac.

        USA is abit expensive also to train American boxer to spar

          Couldn't dissagree more and you don't know how Mexicans think. Yes We are proud people but Mexicans also embrace champions and people of quality. While Pacman did defeat a lot of Mexican champions, he also lost to Morales and arguably lost to JMM in their second fight.

          I think people overstate his "dominance" over Mexican fighters. He's a good guy and a guy that's easy to root for. Plus, Filipino's are like Mexicans in a lot of ways. Both very devote Catholic countries, both hard working and been through a lot in terms of fighting for thier independence and both love the sport of boxing.

          Mexico is a great place to train because of the elevation and the quality of gyms and trainers there.

          I'm Mexican and I respect Pacquiao very much. He's a great champion and a great person. He's given a lot to his people and you have to respect that.

            First of all, Mexicans arent obsessed with the Mexico- Philippines rivalry as some pacs fans may assume therefore training there wont be a problem. He also wont have to worry about obsessed fans following his every move and serving as a distraction like in SoCal or the phillipines.

            As for the article, praising pac is one thing but this Michael Marley guy has a serious problem with Mexicans. He wrote another article earlier this year which is filled with as much nuthugger hate as you'll ever read.

              it has to do with Pacquiao not being an american citizen, he can only spend 180 or somethin days on our soil

                    but still many Americans go there for vacation if those guys from The Hills had there honeymoon there so it okay.

                    Pac has some of his friends there that know about this stuff and know how to secure his saftey.

                    180 days for all foriegner fightingfig even if Canadian or Puerto Rican?
