Pacquiao’s not human, says promoter Arum
MANILA, Philippines -- Bob Arum thought he’d seen them all, until Manny Pacquiao came along.
The 76-year-old world renowned promoter, who has worked with the likes of Marvin Hagler, Oscar De la Hoya, Thomas Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard, Evander Holyfield and George Foreman, saw Pacquiao in training recently and was visibly impressed.
“I have never seen any fighter train so hard for two hours without taking one break,” Arum told Sports Radio in a recent interview. “I haven’t seen anything like this in 42 years.”
Arum was referring to Pacquiao’s continuous, absolutely-no-breaks, training session he witnessed recently at Freddie Roach’s Wild Card Gym in Hollywood.
“I asked Freddie how he does it. Everybody takes a break. Even Marvin Hagler takes a break. Manny? He never stopped even for one minute. He’s training like a man possessed. He’s in such a shape that he’s not human,” Arum was quoted by Johnny Benz of Doghouse Boxing as saying.
