Moments ago I spoke with Mitch Carter, the personal bus driver for Manny Pacquiao and countless other Top Rank stars, as he was posted up at the Wild Card Boxing Club in Los Angeles to check out Manny Pacquiao's final training session inside of the facility. Mitch informed me that he was mere moments away from gathering Pacquiao and his crew and heading out to Las Vegas so that the Filipino champion can settle into the area as his date with Shane Mosley this Saturday inches closer.
On this Monday Pacquiao could be found finishing up the final workout inside of the Wild Card for his fight with Mosley, which is looked at as the biggest event of the year thus far. He spent the past few days inside of a Nike Vault Store in downtown Los Angeles and releasing his new cologne 'MP8 - Scent of a Champion' at a nearby Ron Robinson/Fred Segal store off of Melrose.
By all reports Pacquiao has had a sterling camp thus far, although strength and conditioning expert Alex Ariza showed his concern a few weeks back when I talked to him about Manny's progress, stating that maybe his charge was in danger of peaking too soon. For this bout Pacquiao has been sparring the likes of Shawn Porter, Karim Mayfield, David Rodela, and Raymundo Beltran.
In an interesting note, Beltran will be seeing action near the Vegas area on May 13th when he faces off with Uganda's Sharif 'The Lion' Bogere in Primm, Nevada.
