Categories: East Asia, Latin America, Mexico, Philippines, Sport

Jess at The Postman is following the preparations of Filipino boxer [1] Manny Pacquiao for his upcoming fight with Mexican Oscar Larios. Jess writes "While Larios is bothered by only one thing — fighting the PACMAN — Pacquiao is hounded by several things. Personal matters, off-boxing commitments, showbiz buzzes and profit-oriented people are all around Manny. These pressures pose some sort of jeopardy to his training which has not even begun."
