Manny Pacquiao Distributes Food to Flood Victims



Boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao took a break from training camp in the Philippines last weekend to distribute food and supplies to hundreds of people who have been affected by the country's worst flooding in 40 years.

The back-to-back storms Ondoy and Pepeng, which have triggered dozens of landslides and killed nearly 500 people, but the storm did not affect manny pacquiao's training against Miguel Cotto.

Manny, after he worked out, about 4 in the afternoon, in the middle of the rain, was driven down to Manila and on Sunday distributed food to the victims of the flood. Incredibly despite of manny's very strict training for the coming fight, he still managed to help his fellow filipinos to get through the flood.

Manny's team will fly to Los Angeles on October 24 so that the fighter can get acclimated to the time difference. Pacquiao will have logged about 150 rounds of sparring against Urbano Antillon, Jose Luis Castillo and Shawn Porter by the time he arrives in Las Vegas for the fight on Nov. 14.

Cotto, meanwhile, will continue to train in Tampa until two weeks before the fight, which has a catch weight of 145 pounds and will be for Cotto's WBO welterweight title.
