    I hope Cotto doesn't fall for these antics

    they must know the 24/7 is gonna be poor and they're trying to spice it up

    This cant sit well with Roach i wonder if it will hurt the relationship between the two.

    I don't like this either. Endorsements, TV shows, family, movies, friends etc. What the **** was Pac thinking?

    And it shouldn't sit well with him. I think Manny made a bad decision here.

    Very interesting. Didnt Pacquiao train in Cebu, Phillipines for a big fight and lost?

    Maybe too many distractions but it should be interesting.

    good training or not. a win or a lost for pacman, those dont matter!

    COTTO HAS NO CHOICE but to win this fight because he is bigger and stronger by two weight classes than manny. the pressure is on cotto.:smoke

    In the first place, this fight shouldnt be happening at all. this is just an exhibition match for manny just to test how high he could go up in weight and try to get his 7th weight title!

    geez ..fighting a very good welter and being installed as favorite before the fight is already a big accomplishment for the lightweight pacman.

    IMO this fight is a 50-50 dead even match. only idiots would say otherwise. :deal

    Pacquiao is making things complicated. he should maximize everything in his preparation and I don't see anything positive with this decision. No excuses when he loses.

    Also, Pac will be able to train for 2 weeks at the Wild Card and then afterwards spend fight week in Vegas, correct?

    Similar things were happening before the second JMM fight where Roach was concerned with all the distractions that were around Pac.

    That didn't seem to affect Pac.

    I think I even heard Roach say that Pac is used to training in a hectic atmosphere.

    Pac is a determined beast when he's on training mode. As long as he's with Roach, they could be training in the las vegas strip and he'll get all the work in.

    Pac will be prepared like always.

    Didn't Miguel's Uncle get mad over the exact opposite? He wanted Cotto to say in Puerto Rico to train. But Cotto wanted to train somewhere safer with less distractions.

    I wonder what Frank Warren will make of this, Amir Khan is also going to fight around Nov/Dec, Will Khan also fly out there?. Roach did say Khan will be sparing Manny a little while back.

    I hope Khan kicks Manny's ass in sparing for this :yep
