Pac Man to set up camp in Philippines
Boxingtalk just caught up with trainer Freddie Roach and learned that Manny Pacquiao has flown back to The Philippines, and apparently intends to train there for his rematch against Marco Antonio Barrera, scheduled for October 6, 2007. Upon completion of the press conference formally announcing the fight, Pacquiao flew back to The Philippines with trainer Buboy Fernandez. Reports that there was a falling out between Roach and Pacquiao was quickly squashed by Roach, who said “there was no disagreement between Manny and I, there are some business matters that Manny needs to tend to in The Philippines, and it makes better sense for our training to be over there.” Roach went on to say, “looks like I will be flying to Cebu in the morning after the world cup fights tonight, and we'll be training for the remainder of Manny's camp over there.” More to follow soon.
