This past Monday, Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum was keen on talking up his Antonio Margarito-Manny Pacquiao bout at Cowboys Stadium on November 13. Last Friday Pacquiao went to a hospital to address a possible injury to his left foot. Arum says Pacquiao's left foot is nothing to worry about. Training camp reports are being sent to Arum on a daily basis from the Philippines. Arum was informed that Pacquiao is punching so hard that he dropped his hall of fame trainer, Freddie Roach, three times during their recent training session.
"Manny's left foot is fine. (Agent) Mike Koncz told me Manny knocked (trainer) Freddie Roach down three times in the gym today, he's hitting that hard. [Trainer] Robert Garcia, meanwhile reports to us that Margarito is working very hard also."
Arum theorized that Pacman is pushing himself physically for a special reason.
"Now that he is a Congressman, Manny doesn't want anyone saying he can't do both. That's why he is so focused. That and because he knows this is no walk in the park. Margarito is so freaking big".
