MANILA -- For Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao, his showdown with Puerto Rican champion Miguel Cotto is still far away.
The pound-for-pound king has several commitments to attend to aside from finishing his film project. He said these things, however, should not cause his fans to worry.
“Don't worry, we have plenty of time and we have enough. Everything is under control,” said Pacquiao in his column “Kumbinasyon”, which is published in PhilBoxing.com and Abante.
Pacquiao is due to fight Cotto, the reigning WBO welterweight king, on November 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The Puerto Rican fighter is considered as the "Pacman's" toughest opponent to date.
“Marami pa namang oras ang nakalaan sa pag-train para sa isa sa pinakamahirap na laban ng aking career,” said Pacquiao.
The boxer said although he is having some fun with his projects, he sometimes gets tired with his engagements, too.
Pacquiao said he thinks his current undertakings can be more difficult than boxing.
“Minsan nga, parang mas madali ang pagboboksing dahil ito ang aking nakasanayan at talaga,” he said.
Unlike Pacquiao, Cotto has already begun working on his conditioning for the November 14 fight.
Cotto started his training at the Abner “Pin” Cotto Boxing Gym in Aguas Buenas, Puerto Rico “establish a pre-training condition.”
He will undergo full training sessions beginning August 24.
Pacquiao’s coach, Freddie Roach, said he is looking for another eight-week training camp to fully prepare his ward against the bigger Cotto.
Roach said he wants Pacquiao to begin training sometime in September.
