Manny Pacquiao's Public Workout for his World Super Welterweight Title bout against Antonio Margarito was a display of a great boxing skills, but a clearly distracted fighter. The only man on the planet besides Floyd "Money" Mayweather who can claim to be the best Pound-For-Pound boxer in the world will step into the ring this Saturday night at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. Usually, the smart money is on Pac-Man.
Maybe not this time.
While the main event fighters in boxing and mma are all pulled in many directions while promoting a fight, Pacquiao's people are having a hard time slowly The Champ down. Since taking political office a few months ago as a congressional representative of the Sarangani province in the Philippines, Pacquiao's life has been consumed with fixing medical care and educational issues in his homeland.
Pacquiao seems pained when talking about his childhood. "No money to buy food, hungry," Pacquiao said, "I believe I'm supposed to be doing this."
Pacquiao has introduced two bills, one to provide funds for local medical aid, when barely more than a quarter of his country's population has health care at all, and another bill to construct his province's first hospital.
"There's a lot of people there, people who don't even have a place to live," Pacquiao says with great emotion,"They need help."
Freddie Roach notices his fighter is not as focused on the battle ahead as usual.
