World Scribbles

Many people are indeed curious on why Manny Pacquiao chose to train in Baguio City instead of going to Mexico like his coach Freddie Roach had suggested. At first I personally thought that Manny was just concerned about his money because he’s just a few bouts away from calling boxing quits, when he trains here then he would be able to save more money rather than going to Mexico which sums up to millions of dollars, right?

From what I read, Manny was warned that there are a lot of cases of kidnapping happening lately in Mexico. He being a well known sportsman and wealthy that is was scared of what might happen when he’s there, and that’s what pushed him to find some place cool and perfect enough for training.

With a climate that’s cool and absolutely perfect for training, Manny surely made the right choice in picking Baguio as the place where he’d train and prepare against Miguel Cotto next month. Like a celebrity, Manny Pacquiao jogs around the public park, eats at a local restaurant and mingles with fans when he’s done with his training.

With a fraction of a mall located in Baguio City that has been set up with all his training gear, Manny trains real hard for this upcoming fight. With each day passing and with his training getting real intense, I hope that Manny would win the fight against Miguel Cotto this November.
