Last Saturday in the front of journalists at the Wild Card gym, Manny Pacquio shows his hand speed and punching power.
Freddie Roach told the observers that Manny Pacquio is in the best shape of his career.
Pacquio is gearing up for the third fight against Mexican superstar Erik Morales on Nov. 18 (Nov. 19 in Manila) at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, a match that is shaping up to be a blockbuster going by the way tickets have been selling.
“It’s going to be a complete sellout,” said Top Rank boss Bob Arum, who was also present during the workout. “There’s not going to be a seat left and I’m really very pleased. We’re also putting 10,000 closed circuit [TV] seats so people who can’t buy tickets can watch the fight for $50.”
Arum predicted that the grudge fight—labeled The Grand Finale—is going to be the biggest in Las Vegas since the bout between Hector Camacho and Julio Cezar Chavez in the late 90’s.
Already, Arum said, 14,000 tickets have been sold, including most of the pricey seats, leaving around 3,000 left to sell.
