The Pacquiao-Cotto 24/7 Episode 2 was aired last October 31, 2009 on HBO Sports. This episode shows Manny Pacquiao travelling police escort out of Baguio beating the typhoon. He is heading to Manila for gym practice. This episode also shows Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroy, the President of the Philippines talking about how Pacquiao is a hero to everyone.
On the other hand, in Cotto’s camp, the team rises well before sunrise to begin training. Miguel Cotto’s son is also with the group now. Cotto does fast paced laps around a track in the dark as the rest of the team watches on. Even though the focus is on training, on a beautiful Sunday morning in Florida, the team heads to a golf course to relax a bit.
Both camps designate times for strenuous work and times for lighthearted play, but there are countless distractions in Pacquiao’s corner which Cotto seems to have deliberately avoided by restricting the number of people that accompany him and by choosing an isolated location for his training. The end of episode shows Manny Pacquiao team arrives in Los Angeles to train for the upcoming fight. But there are a lot of room for doubt whether the lost time in Baguio, Philippines will cost Manny comes November 14.
