The Wild Card Gym is now off-limits to those with no business being around as Manny Pacquiao trains.This was emphasize by the newest member of the Team Pacquiao and trainer Michael Moorer; “If you don’t belong here, it’s time to go”.
This new rule is now strictly being imposed, with the approval of the boxer (Manny) himself, as the fight with Ricky Hatton moved just three weeks away. Manny Pacquiao is in the final phase of his training, the final push. Sparring sessions get longer and tougher, and nothing comes easy each day.
The goal of this "Off-Limits" was to insure Manny of no distraction while in a rigid training inside the Wild Card Gym. Still Pacquiao loves to train when there are fans around him, and he loves to put on a show. Roach must have felt that the practice had to stop.
“There will be no more fan interaction with Manny Pacquiao until the fight is over on May 2. Under the new rule, no one outside of official Team Pacquiao members is allowed in the gym before, during and after the training.
Except on Wednesday, of course, when Pacquiao holds a media workout in the Hollywood sweatshop. The doors are closed when Hatton trains at the IBA gym in Las Vegas.
