article imageBoxing Experts, Fans Want Manny Pacquiao Out of Philippines

By Leo Reyes.
Boxing fans of Manny Pacquiao are 'up in arms' for Team Pacquiao's decision to train the popular boxer in Baguio City in the Philippines for his next mega fight with Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico, citing too many distractions such as weather and politics.
Boxing experts and fans from around the world want Manny Pacquiao to pack up immediately and leave his Shape Up training ground in Baguio City in the Philippines.
Most of the comments from the article by famous boxing sportswriter, Michael Marley are favoring the immediate training relocation for the famous Filipino boxer. They cited distractions like, movies, politics, flooding and mudslides as among the reasons why Manny shyould pack up and move to Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles, California.
Some of the comments by fans from Marley's article include:
Strategist says: 'It was doomed from the start. ANYWHERE for Pacquiao to train EXCEPT in the Philippines where distractions to him are as common as air. At the end of the day, it's Pacquiao's fault to have dug his own grave.
Baguio, Cebu, Manila, General Santos, ANYWHERE IN THE PHILIPPINES: bad idea to train for the Pacman'.
Freddie Roots says:
'Manny could suffer the same fate as Linares if he doesn't listen to Marley. To Team Pacquiao: pack up and leave Baguio now! Are you still waiting for the next landslide? typhoon? Manny should have listened to Roach - to hold training camp in Toluca or Canada. PACK UP AND LEAVE BAGUIO NOW FOR THE SAKE OF MILLIONS OF FANS WHO WERE DRINKING TOO MUCH COFFEE LATELY DUE TO YOUR TOO MUCH DISTRACTIONS IN YOUR TRAINING CAMP. We don't want you to lose Manny... so leave now while there is still time'.
afp1957 says:
'What a waste of effort and energy... if Pacman had listened to Roach, there would had been no cramming instead.Now he has to make up for the lost time and it is running short. the guy opposite next to him is no patsy and is capable of dispatching him anytime of the day. What i see here is disaster like the one brought by those typhoons. I hope I am wrong because there's no one to blame here except Pacman himself. Is there any clause for rematch in the contract coz I smell something wrong is going to happen'?
