Team Pacquiao very confident in victory, but Las Vegas isn't as confident

 Over the last few days various members of Team Pacquiao have expressed their confidence in Manny Pacquiao, including the pound-for-pound champ himself. As I discussed in yesterday's article, "Manny Pacquiao reassures everyone that he is OK and will be 100% for fight", Manny Pacquiao publicly reassured his fans that he's ok and ready to go. Today, Pacquiao reinforced yesterday's statements with comments that should have the PacNation feeling confident.

It’s a good thing you said that. I’m ready. Everything is back to normal. I’m ready. I already tested my stamina when I sparred 12 rounds (last Saturday). Freddie is now very happy with my performance."Pacquiao, PhilStar.com

Manny's adviser, Mike Koncz, confidently echoed Manny's comments:

"If the fight is held tomorrow, we’re ready to go. Absolutely,” PhilStar.com

Freddie Roach's comments in regards to Manny's readiness:

“His (Pacquiao's) performance in sparring only means, he’s ready to fight to win. Manny will knock him (Margarito) out,”Roach, ABS CBN News

It's safe to say that Team Pacquiao is feeling good with how training camp is winding up and confident in Pacquiao's readiness to win this historical fight. However, Las Vegas is as confident in Manny's victory.
