Quick question regarding Manny Pacquiao

[dreaded_FIST]

Hey, in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SB4IEQzm7uE

Freddie Roach says that their first choice for their training camp against Miguel Cotto was in Vancouver (5:05)

Exactly where would they train here in Vancouver? I don't know of any big or famous boxing gyms here in BC.

Can anyone shed some light and explain to me as to why he would want manny to train here in Vancouver..

The only reason im asking is because Im from vancouver..so it'd be cool if any of you guys would know lol

i'm if not mistaken, pacquiao considered training in vancouver so he could use them hockey players as sparring partners. i heard they could fight.

Well, since Manny couldn't train in the United States for more than a number of days because of tax reasons, he'd have to train in a different country...

Vancouver's in the same time zone as LA and Vegas. Their other choices were Mexico and Ba*****... Don't think they had a gym in mind, just the city/country.

come on man, u really think wildcard is the state of the art modern gym?

they have to climb up a freaking ladder to get up in there.
