LOS ANGELES -- When Manny Pacquiao finally makes his way past the autograph hounds and the process server to climb the narrow staircase to the Wild Card Gym, he's met by dozens of fans, reporters and a television star, all wanting a minute of his time.

Hollywood is jam-packed with distractions for the world's top pound-for-pound boxer -- and he isn't even a congressman in this country.

Trainer Freddie Roach says Pacquiao is having the worst training camp of his career heading into his Nov. 13 meeting with Antonio Margarito in Texas.

Pacquiao's camp acknowledges his life has become ridiculously complicated, and not just because he ran successfully for a congressional seat in his native Philippines. Yet the fighter insists he's prepared.

LMFAO, he never said that during DLH's camp against MAyweather when he was gettin hurt by lightweights and even Ivan Calderon was outboxing and bullyin him


Roach is yankin your chains, just watch when fight nite happens Pac will be lights out. Roach lied before about Pac havin a bad camp against Cotto and he was in great shape and schooled Cotto. He is tryin to get ppl to by the hype Marg has a chance since this fight is so lopsided

AKA: "Were not trying to have another 700k buys, guyz pleaze order this fight we swears Margarito has a chance"

It's all bullshit.

Freddie has been saying Manny's having a horrible camp dating all the way back to the rematch with Barrera, and probably even beyond that.

He says it everytime Manny has a fight coming up, to downplay expectations and try to trick nitwits who don't know any better.

That, coupled with 24/7 accounts for all the people picking Margarito to beat Pacquiao.

Here's another article from Yahoo! Sports describing the tumultuous training camp...

Just hyping Margo's chances.

Just hyping Margo's chances.

i like his chances without the hype. Stylistically he is more difficult than the left hand dominant fighters Pac has been feasting on of late.

I remember thinking the same thing for the clottey fight. Once i saw pac doing mitts with roach during the National Anthem ceremony, i thought to myself "never mind, its over." he looked way too sharp. I just dont buy into this garbage. They are just trying to sell this fight real bad.
