MANILA, Philippines - A chief adviser of Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao said seven weeks or anything within 50 days, should be enough to put the Filipino pound-for-pound champion a hundred percent ready for Josh Clottey.“Seven weeks will be enough. No need to worry,” said Wakee Salud, the Cebuano matchmaker and one of Pacquiao’s closest friends, of the March 13 bout in Arlington, Texas.
Pacquiao arrived to a warm welcome Thursday evening in Los Angeles (yesterday morning Manila time) but will have to honor a couple more commitments before he starts his serious training.
The 31-year-old champion, who will stake his WBO welterweight crown against Clottey, will be in Dallas and New York in the next couple of days to help drum up the event, and should hit the gym in LA on Thursday.
That will officially be his first day of training even if Pacquiao had instructed his handlers to bring his running gear along because he wants to break sweat while in Dallas and New York, regardless of the weather.
