MANILA, Philippines - Despite outrage over his recent comments, it's business as usual for Manny Pacquiao in the gym.
The 37-year-old boxing legend continued his training with Freddie Roach on Friday, February 19 at the Pacman Wild Card Gym in General Santos City as he prepares for his April 9 bout against Timothy Bradley Jr in Las Vegas.
