    Out of Chance Meeting, a Formidable Pairing -Greg Bishop/NY Times

    HOLLYWOOD — After the second typhoon hit, as the third crept closer, Freddie Roach had seen enough. Houses disappeared underwater. Boulders blocked the narrow, winding roads. Seventeen families packed into one room.

    Boxing’s Pac-Man, Back Home In Baguio City, the Philippines, where Roach trained the boxer Manny Pacquiao last month in preparation for Saturday’s welterweight title fight against Miguel Cotto, they stacked coffins high in neat rows, until their supply ran out.

    continued here.

    Somewhere along the article he states:
    Pacquiao eats six meals and drinks five protein shakes daily, consuming 7,000 calories but burning 500 more. His muscles are chiseled, each with a purpose.

    That's insane.
