Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao To Spar Before He Makes PBA Debut

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

MANNY Pacquiao will spar on Saturday before taking a flight to Manila for his Philippine Basketball Association debut as playing coach of Kia Sorento at the opening of the pro league’s 40th season at the Philippine Arena on Sunday which, by all accounts, will see a record crowd at the 55,000-seat coliseum.

Assistant trainer and childhood friend Restituto “Buboy” Fernandez told BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard/Viva Sports that Pacquiao sparred on Thursday with Stan “The Man” Martyniouk and tough welterweight Mike Jones, who some years ago was being considered as an opponent for Pacquiao.

Being how they can't fight and probably won't ever fight, can we see Floyd vs Manny on the court??? Who thinks Pacquiao would bust Mayweathers ass in ball???

i hope pac abuses his role as coach and he keeps himself on the court.!!

he may have only had 1 point last game but they need his leadership and rim protection. plus those 55 thousdand people arent paying to see the best player on the team eat-up pac's minutes!!!

ball so hard, algieri fight will be a layup!!

That's the type of quality journalism you can only get from a Ronnie Nathanielsz.

Didn't Manny somehow manage to score 1 point in a game like a week or two ago? I read in BX that Manny did play and scored 1 point, a free throw clearly unless this is a pick up game...anyway it also said as Coach Manny drafted himself with the teams first round pick like the 11th pick lmao...It is a hip hop forum but the story seemed real and even this says he is coach and player...

For real is this for real did he actually draft himself?

This **** is funny to me...if Manny actually used a 1st round pick on himself while he is already coach, well then he officially has out did Master P, lmfao...Master P used his peak fame to get on some basketball teams, I think he even played a pre season game for The Hornets or Raptors, and then played in that CBA league team, he came to St.Louis to play the Swarm and people knew he was doing it...But if Manny went that extra step and became coach and then actually drafted himself with the intentions of playing while fighting lmao...**** that will even out do Roy Jones lmao...Props to Manny if this is true, it's funny to me if he actually went this far...oh man this is classic.

Manny can play basketball now and fight Jr after!

We see how serious he's taking the dangerous undefeated hard hitting hall of famer Chris Algieri. Lol, what a joke. He going to 140 for a trilogy with Zab Judah, this guy is a joke. No more roids means no more risks.
