The Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, CA is about to shift gears and turn from boxing mode to Pacquiao mode. There is a difference. The pound for pound king is set to land in a few hours from the Philippines and is set to finish up the final leg of training camp. Freddie Roach will be back in the comforts of his gym, and will have all of his soldiers at his finger tips.
It was important to Freddie to get Manny back into Los Angeles in time so that he can adjust to the time difference. Pacquiao will rest for a day, then get right into the thick of things at Wild Card Gym. The atmosphere is about to change. It always does when Manny gets into town. The Tai Restaurant down the stairs and to the left will once again be filled to capacity each and every day. Manny will be sought out by the boxing scribes that will no doubt surround the gym with each day. There will be no Michael Moorer and I am guessing Mr Koncz will be behaving himself as well. Time will tell on that one.
This fight is getting closer and closer with each passing day. Yes indeed, the pound for pound king has returned. So let us see how the final leg of a grueling training camp will turn out. All reports out of the Philippines, even with the distractions say Manny still had a good camp. The final stretch should be even better, and he should be ready to go by November 14th.

This is a nonesense article. Are are you a writer? Shame on you!!
Makes sense for Manny's full-attention-no-distraction preparation.
Brad Cooney, you have a filipino like welcome in your article it is full of hospitality. Thanks to you for covering PACMAN. Can't wait enough to hear more from you. Keep it up man! Can you send me hard photos of you via postal mail. I love your articles. Just send it to my name and its address posted on this comment. thanks. If you can send me ill keep it in my album. Many thanks.
Yehey!!! I am happy that he is here in USA again. Goodluck to his coming fight. I love you Manny.
As much as people say Manny's ready, for some reason I have a feeling he is not 100% ready mainly bc he is not "mentally" ready. He's trained physically but mentally I think he is already bypassing this fight & focusing on the political election next year & even who will be his next opponent. I don't blame him especially w/the manner in which he's annihilated his past 3 opponents. It's easy to become overconfident with this fight but I think that will probably be his downfall. I hope I am wrong about this bc I want Manny to win.
Typhoon Pacquiao-- after having absorbed the powers of three superstorms in the Philippines (locally named Typhoons Ondoy, Pepeng and Ramil)--- has now entered the United States' area of responsibility, and is now gaining more strength and is expected to unleash its full damaging fury on November 14...
Photos of you with my idol PACMAN and also if it's possible picture of you with FilAM boxer Ana Julaton.Thanks again.
Larry Merchant says.... you're not human coz every human knows who manny is, you moron..
Your article before Manny's arrival is better than the articles written, by other scribes, after he arrived.
am sure manny will go to church at the cathedral of the holy angels sunday :)

Manny Pacquiao now in the US for the final phase of his training camp before going to Las Vegas..i assure that in the Wild Card Gym,Manny will get his 100% conditioned because of minimal distractions and the strict policy implemented by the management of the gym in the supervision of coach Freddie..GOOD LUCK and GOD BLESS to MANNY PACQUIAO!!!MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS!!!!!!!!
Cotto will knock him (Pacquiao) out cold.
The long Pinoy line will start queuing at Wild Card.
Who's Manny Pacquiao?!!! Your a freaking moron to be posting that in a boxing website!
Larry Merchant?? ??? Who's this ffuucckkiinngg guy?
ara mina, you are stupid!
mr. cotton will die in round 1
I am a fan of Manny.I know he is going to win the fight!Go Manny Go!I want nobody nobody but you!!YAHOO!
I'll be there with my little prayer. So ready or not, Manny will win.
The martyrdom of cotto in the ring is getting nearer. Come Nov 14, all of Puerto Rico will elevate Cotto as their national hero for being martyred in a brutal 1st rd knockout. Manny's sledgehammer like hands will serve its purpose of executing the sentence of knockout win.
To all PINOYS, please dont forget to extend your sympathetic hands to our puerto rican friends who will be savoring the dismal defeat that their hero will suffer. Nov 14 will be a day of sorrow for cotto and the whole of puerto rico.
Mabuhay si Manny at Mabuhay ang bawat Pilipinong sa iba't-ibang panig ng mundo....
Good luck Manny! lahat kami dito nasa Pilipinas nagdarasal sa tagumpay mo wala pa dyan ang mga Pinoy na nasa ibang bansang nagpapakuba sa trabaho para sa pamilyang nandito sa Pilipinas... mapawi man lang hirap ng mga kapwa nating Pilipino at tumaas muli ang moral ng mga kababayan nating nasalanta ng mga bagyong dumaan....make every Filipino proud once again.
Mabuhay ang bawat Pilipino at mabuhay ang Pilipinas!!!
My support goes out to my fellow filipino. even if we are fighting out of different disciplines. You definitely represent Pinoy Pride to the fullest. Knock him out Manny!
How can Cotto beat Manny Pacquiao, a cross-bred of Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran?
Manny galingan mu bay, supurtado kang buong pilipino bay!!
Manny's got power in both hands in blinding speed. How will Cotto handle such weaponry?
Brandon Vera supurtado ka rin ng mga pinoy,Good Luck to your upcoming fight with Cotoure!!!Knock him out !!!
Paalala sa mga Pinoy sa U.S. huwag nyong istorbohin ang training ni Manny. Mahalaga ang two weeks na training na walang umaabala. Sa Nov. 14 nalang tau magsamasama at manood ng PPV.
KALMANTI LANG MGA AMIGOS,21 DAYS PA HAHASAQIN PA ANG SAMURAI NI PACMAN,PARA PANG HATI NG RING AT DIYAN NA MAKITA KUNG SINO ANG HARI NG RING.WAG KAYONG MAINIP,YANG KONTRA NA PINOY KAY PACMAN,LAMUNUN NIYO LAHAT NG SINABI NIYO SA COMENTO NIYO,STUPIDO,TONDO,INDIO .SA AMIN SA MINDANAO ANG LAHAT NG NAGSASABI NG MASAMA SA KAPWA PINOY PUGOT ANG ULO

I think Cotto will finally end the Pacman fever in round 6 by KO.
Paquiao might forget Cotto is a true welterweight champion and will regret it but it will be too late. Poor pinoys. Typhoon and now Cotto.
