Pacquiao's Baguio training includes basketball
Earlier today, a member of the Filipino boxing champion said that Manny Pacquiao has included basketball in his training for the trilogy against Mexican slugger Juan Manuel Marquez.
Aside from boxing, Pacquiao's next favorite sport is basketball. He even has a team from Mindanao which has won games against the best local teams in Baguio City where he is now training hard for the fight on November 13 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Coach Freddie Roach has allowed Pacquiao to play more basketball games to increase his speed and stamina, according to Buboy Fernandez, assistant trainer of "Team Pacquiao".
"Manny was however cautioned to avoid any injury during his basketball games," Fernandez said.
Pacquiao's best buddy also said that Roach has expressed satisfaction over Pacquiao's performance in his first sparring session with Venezuelan Jorge Henares on Thursday night.
