Manny Pacquiao the World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion start his training this August to prepare himself for his fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr this November. Pacman needs to concentrate on his speed during in the final two weeks so when he drops back to the 147-pound weight limit, he will feel lighter and faster.


He will start training in August for his fight to lift up the pride of the country but this also means that Pacquiao, who is recently elected as Sarangani congressman, will only have one month to spend on his congressional duties before he starts training. The Filipino boxer-congressman will be sworn into office on June 30.


Pacquiao’s handler, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, has penciled the 7-division champ for a November 13 fight date. Arum is currently working on forging a mega-fight between Pacquiao and undefeated former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr., a match many fans are waiting to see.
