Manny Pacquiao Speaks on Training Schedule

Manny Pacquiao Speaks on Training Schedule

"Yes Cotto is training for one month already. Me, I'm just about to start this week, there is still time."

“Don't worry, we have plenty of time and we have enough. Everything is under control.”

"If I exceed eight weeks of training, I am somewhat overtrained, my conditioning is not beautiful during the fight."

"If its under the eight weeks, my conditioning is also not good. That's why the training should always be eight weeks before the fight. "

"When in training, we will study Cotto well. While we are training, we will study every day his style. If there's something that should be done, the techniques."


Freddie Roach, Trainer

“Manny did leave a message with me about my brother, offering his condolences…That was very nice of you, but Manny, give me a call, let me talk to you. Don’t believe this is an easy fight because they are lying to you.”

"Anyone who thinks this fight is easy is a fool. He's going to be at his best."

“I've been studying this guy, watching his fights, I have a good strategy in mind and we just have to implement it now.”

"I'm a little pissed off to be honest with you about the lack of communication."

"I have a camp setup in the mountains in Toluca, Mexico... I now hear that Manny wants to train in the Philippines. I think it's a mistake. I think it's too many distractions for him."

"It's a training camp. It's a business. That's why you're there. We don't need vacation areas with tourists watching us and so forth."

"It's a beautiful gym. They have a beautiful facility up there owned by the government. It's well-protected and a 5-star hotel is 20 minutes away from the gym."

"Everything is right there. They have unbelievable hills; they go from 10,000 to 14,000 feet above sea level. I'm not a big altitude guy on altitude training, but I'm used to seclusion and getting your mind on the fight is what I want and I don't think he can do that in the Philippines."

“My gut feeling, though, is that we’ll end up in the Philippines.”

“Manny will make a decision. I think it’ll be in Baguio, where their Olympic training center is.”


Michael Koncz, Manager

“There are plans for Manny, everything is on schedule. Manny started jogging on Monday, he will start training in Baguio for one week after the presscon.”

“We will fly out the 9th and from then we wait for Manny to decide where to set up the camp.”

“With regards to strategy and training, yes, Roach is the trainer and we don’t know boxing, he's right there. So we leave it up to him and Manny to fix those things.”


Franklin Gacal, Lawyer

“He wants to fly back immediately to begin training in Baguio. My hunch is that once he gets going in Baguio, then it’s going to be Baguio. It would be difficult for him to do the press tour, then train one week in Baguio, then move to Mexico and then move once more to either LA or Las Vegas. It may not be good for his training.”


Buboy Fernandez, Assistant Trainer

"It's not much of a delay. But of course, all of the trainers are concerned because Cotto is not just another fighter. It's normal that we trainers be concerned."

"Right now, I'm really not that concerned. He said to me to go up to Baguio, he said go there first, see the facilities. That's okay with me, what's important is we start."

"If we start training, we want it to be continuous. His shootings and taping are now being finished. And then next week, it would be really the start."

"After the Press Tour, we will return here. Then all of the Team Pacquiao will go to Baguio."

"That's what our champion said. What Manny wishes. We trainer are ready for the big fight. Manny knows that."

"Depends on the result of the training in Baguio. If there's plenty of hassle, then we'll look for another venue."

    I just hope you don't lose the fight and make excuses. You should listen to your coach and start your training instead of doing movie. You have a lot of distractions, remember boxing is still your number one thing. People in my place becoming pissed off because of your attitude, I think you becoming a jerk. Don't let that ego running into your head.

    Manny if you f*ck things up you will not only loose the fight - you will also loose your political career. Remember the first time you went for the election and the people did not vote for you because they want you to stay in boxing. It could happen again.

    To our people's champ please follow Mr. Roach suggestions don't do your training in the Philippines because of many distractions. You only become a better fighter because of your coach take that in consideration because he knows whats good for you. Set aside your pride and ego. Please..please..please. Buboy you are assistant trainer please work with Mr Roach don't do training in the Philippines.

    People loved you for your passion in boxing and your tremendous work ethic, which even the world top athletes (Kobe on top of the list) admired………now where is the damn passion and ethics…..where is Manny Pacquiao….the real Manny Pacquiao.
    Please listen to coach Roach…your real friend who happened to know what is best for MANNY and not to those who are next to you for MONEY.

    Manny should stay here in a secluded area to train!!!! It is extremely mandatory! He will start to lose himself if he stays in the homeland! He must follow Freddie's guidance bcz that's what got him this far! The fight against hatton was easy because of Freddie's training and Manny's work ethic. I really want Manny to be the TRUE P4P Champion of the world!

    Man I have a strong feeling that Pacman is going to loose this fight. Pacman is taking Cotto to lightly due to what he saw in Cottos last fight. Pacman should stay on track since these are his last fight. If I was his trainer I have the camp in Alaska where nobody is around LOL. Damn Filipino showbiz. Prediction, Cotto BY KO due to Pacman's stupidity and lack of hunger to win...........

    Manny, sana mabasa mo itong comment kong ito. Alam ng lahat na nakakakilala sa iyo ay mayaman ka na at marami ka na ring natulungan ma financial man o inkind. Pero sana huwag mong kalimutan na lahat na ito ay galing sa pagboboksing mo. Sana bigyan mo nang priority ang boksing kaysa sa ibang bagay lalo na sa TV at Pilikula.Isa ka nang sikat na Boxer sa buong mundo at kung papasukin mo ang pagaartista tandaan mo, dito ka lulubog. Ang buhay artista ay di bagay sa iyo, dito ka lulubog.

    the best way is follow what the trainer told you.. the best way is to train in Mexico it's
    not to much destruction than the Philippines.
    you must focus in your fight with cotto 'coz
    he is not like other boxer to beat easy, you must wake-up Manny.. "wag masyado itaas yung Pride mo" the way i saw you now is the more you are famous the more you are "mayabang" not in you but also your family and friends! Pls... make us proud always as what a filipino are proud of what you are before...

    tangna medyo ubos nang ihi ko sayo (a little pissed off at you) manny. makikinig ka sana kay coach roach.

    Manny is into Acting and POLITICS right now thinking that he should start now since he plans to retire in 2010. I hope Manny can handle the truth! All his acting carreer and political career ENDS as soon as his BOXING career ENDS! Politician snd Producers are feeding Manny with hopes and dreams since he is not as educated as they are and they can play around with words! Manny your countrymen LOVES you for being a BOXER and BOXER alone do not be mislead that you can be popular without boxing. I just hope you have real friends around you who will constantly remind you of this.

    The difference between PacMan and Floyd.

    1. Floyd is envious of PacMan's success. PacMan doesn't envy anyone.

    2. PacMan fights every second of every round and never runs around. Floyd, runs around pretty much the whole 12 rounds. Hence, PacMan is exciting,while Floyd is boring.

    3. Floyd brags about his wealth, every chance he gets. Manny talks about helping the poor, every chance he gets.

    4. Manny isn't afraid of anyone, Floyd on the other hand is famous for ducking the fights he should be fighting.

    5. Floyd talks thrash to his opponents, Manny is soft-spoken, never talks thrash, prays to God that his opponents doesn't get hurt. But he hurts them anyhow.

    6. Manny is no.1, Floyd is 2 or 3.

    Last but not least,

    7. Manny's willing to fight Floyd. While Floyd is afraid of Manny.

    I'm one of Pacquiao's fan and following up the update during his training. I love to know why Manny is now the world best P4P and a legendary. I watched all the previous fights of Cotto and reminds me of Manny how and what he can do for a knock-out against Cotto. I believed Cotto has a weak chin. He was knock-out by Margarito when he was battered in the chin left and right. A solid hammer punch is needed by Pacquiao on this fight. I think Cotto will be KO within 3 rounds. Cotto was dizzy with the left and right hook of Margarito, thus KO was happened.
