Eight division champ, Manny Pacquiao left the Philippines for the United States Saturday night to continue the second leg of his training for his upcoming rematch with WBO welterweight champ, Timothy Bradley Jr.
Pacquiao with his team departed from the Ninoy Aquino Internantional Airport (NAIA) in Manila at 2023 local time aboard Philippine Airlines Flight PR 102 which is expected to arrive Saturday evening at the Tom Bradley International Airport in California.
Pacquiao spent the first part of his training camp in his hometown of General Santos City in his own Wild Card Gym in the city?s busy downtown. He sparred and trained under the eyes of longtime coach, Freddie Roach and assistant coaches, Buboy Fernandez and Nonoy Neri.
He will continue the hard work at Roach?s world famous, Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles, his second home when training for a fight.
Pacquiao and Bradley Jr. will meet in less than a month in their much anticipated rematch at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Their first match, which Bradley Jr. won, ended in a controversial Split Decision nod for the undefeated Bradley Jr.
Both fighters will attempt to settle the score on April 12.
