Pacquiao vs Rios 24/7 Episode 3 Finale Full Video - Months have turned weeks and now days. And the back and forth between both sides of Manny Pacquiao and Brandon Rios this Saturday night has intensified.

The trip to Los Angeles, California to Macao totals nearly 17 hours in the air. For his westward journey to the Far East, Brandon Rios appeared relaxed, and was easily charmed by the cabin amenities. The experience might have been novel, but the methods of passing the final hours were perhaps predictable.

Flight 807, touchdown to Macao at 10:45 Am., local time. And immediately the boxer found himself transformed. The kid from Garden City is most certainly not in Kansas anymore. A hundred 30 miles west across the sea from Hong Kong, Macao for nearly 500 years, a Portuguese colony, before being transferred back to Chinese authority in 1999. In the year since, its tourism industry has boomed. Turning it into the largest gambling center in the world, and one of its richest cities. The fight is being held at the enormous Venetian Macao Resort Hotel. A sprawling property on which a boxing gym has been erected for both camps to use. By far, Pacquiao Rios is the biggest ever to be held in China.

Though the fight air at Saturday night in the United States, it will be Sunday morning in Macao. An irregularity that has to be accommodated for. In the form of early morning workouts.

1300 miles Southeast, on another sunny morning on General Santos City, Jinkee Pacquiao is headed to the airport for the eagerly anticipated reunion. Her children who attend a private school in Manila are returning home for a brief visit for their father’s bout with Rios. Their first time home since super typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines earlier this month. The Pacquiao’s has four children 12 years old Manny junior, eleven years old Michael, seven years old Princess, and four years old Queenie. At the breakfast table each of them knows the stake rounding Saturday’s fight.

Even when they go well, rehearsals like today means only so much. Particularly, considering what ended Pacquiao’s last trip to the ring. The punch he never saw coming. Preparing for that is an endless process. As much mental as physical. As much about focus as ability. But with regards to what can be seen. The camp is completely assured.
