Alright, so as usual, we begin Pacquiao vs. Mosley Fight Camp 360 episode 3 with a recap of the previous episode. Now it’s time to get underway, and it’s officially one week from fight night as the episode airs. It’s been a long buildup, but the fight is finally just about here.
As the third episode of Pacquiao-Mosley Fight Camp 360 begins, we get a sort of montage about Pacquiao and his accomplishments and how great he is. Then we get a similar montage for Mosley and what he has accomplished. A line comes up taking us back to six weeks ago, and Pacquiao is being driven around in an SUV and he’s singing with the radio as he drives by multiple billboards of himself and goofs around with his team.
We’re in the gym and Freddie is surprised to see Pacquiao relaxed, but also on time. Pacquiao talks about being happy and excited, and that it’s good, because when he isn’t, he’ll stop boxing. Alex Ariza says is the training keeps going like this then they’ll have a phenomenal fight.
Now we switch to Big Bear for Mosley’s camp in Pacquiao-Mosley Fight Camp 360 Episode 3. Mosley says he prefers to be by himself in training, he doesn’t need people building him up, and boxing is a one on one sport. Naazim Richardson is wrapping his hands, and Mosley says that he likes as little wrapping as possible, because he likes to feel the impact of everything. Mosley talks about how he has now Naazim for a long time, and he chose to work with him three fights ago because of how involved and intelligent he is.
We flash back to Mosley beating Margarito, but then we flash back even farther to Mosley beating Oscar De La Hoya, and Mosley warns about how once people start believing their own hype, it’s a sign of things to come.
Now it’s five weeks until fight night, and Mosley is doing a photo shoot with girlfriend Bella Gonzalez who is clad in tight black leather, and skimpy outfits. Mosley definitely seems to be enjoying himself, and Mosley says that it’s probably the last time he’ll be in LA before the fight. She mentions how Shane changes as fight night approaches, but that her father used to box, so she knows about it.
We hear Bob Arum talking as he visits the Philippines, and he says it’s part of the routine and training for Pacquiao, and that’s good for Manny. Pacquiao’s wife Jinkee comes on and talks about Manny and his training, then Roach starts talking about how tough Mosley is. Roach says they want to knock Mosley out because Mayweather couldn’t do it, and they want to do better than he did.
Pacquiao takes the court with the MP Warriors of Baguio City, his own professional basketball team. Pacquiao says that basketball is his favorite sport, while his team talks about how they don’t like him playing while he’s in training. Roach says that Pacquiao is a grown man and will do what he wants, and he won’t babysit him.
Mosley is in the ring with his son and is giving him some pointers and tips as they shadow box. Jr. says that Naazim told him that Shane Sr. is the Sugar, and that he’s the Spice. Now we see Shane’s father, Jack Mosley, and he’s talking about how he trained Shane from the start and how he used to box. They talk about Shane’s first loss when he was 11 or 12, and Shane was crushed but then made the next kid pay. Jack says how Sugar Ray Robinson came to visit him when he was a kid, and he said he would work hard to be one of the best, and be one of the best Sugars.
Back to Baguio City, and Pacquiao is doing road work while throngs of people, the military, and general fans watch and cheer him on. Ariza says that Pacquiao has been getting in great shape, and while they are on the track, the track work is the hardest work they do because Ariza is in control and not Pacquiao. He says though that once you’re up, the only place to go is down, and the margin of error is zero. He won’t let this come crashing down, however.
Pacquiao talks about how he came from nothing, and how he’s proud of that. We see the Mayor come on and some other Filipino locals come on, telling about Pacquiao’s past and how he turned into a boxer, and what it all meant. Pacquiao worked construction when he want to Manila and then trained in boxing the rest of the time. We see some footage of a young Pacquiao training in boxing, and they say how he was popular within just a few fights. We see some early Pacquiao fight footage as that same aggression and style was there from his first days as a pro.
Mosley and his team are watching tape of Pacquiao vs. Marquez. Richardson comments on Pacquiao’s energy, and then talks about how if Pacquiao doesn’t stay disciplined then he can be hit. Mosley needs to stay patient and be in control. Richardson talks about the chess game of the sport, solving the puzzle of Pacquiao and making Pacquiao pay.
Back to the Philippines as Pacquiao-Mosley Fight Camp 360 Episode 3 continues, and Pacquiao is jumping rope and talking about getting pumped up. We see Buboy as a trainer, and then we see a flashback to Pacquiao fighting as a 17-year-old pro.
Then we’re back to Buboy, and he says he was in dirty clothes, smoking and drinking, and Pacquiao tells him to get cleaned up and join him, and gets him on track to learn about boxing, and splitting everything he had with him, and more. Buboy says he never could have imagined being where they are today. Pacquiao says he is proud about all of that, and when Buboy talks, you can see about how much it all means to him.
Now it’s media day at Shane’s camp, and everyone is there in full force, as well as the Showtime announcing crew. Mosley talks about how the questions can be annoying, and Richardson talks about how some people are treating Pacquiao like Jesus. Arum jokes with Shane about how he has beaten so many of his fighters in the past – namely De La Hoya and Margarito.
Pacquiao and his camp are getting ready to leave the Philippines and head to the states. Roach says he can’t want to get home. Pacquiao says that his family is his first concern, and that they are what he cares about. His little girls talk his ears off about how he’ll win because he’s stronger and so forth. Wife Jinkee talks about going along for the ride, and about how it’s hard for everyone. Pacquiao says it’s not easy but he has to do it. He says his family is part of his achievements and success.
Now we’re at the Knockout Ring Card Girl competition where dozens to hundreds of sexy women are competing for the right to be the ring card girls for the Pacquiao vs. Mosley fight. We see the judges talking about how this one is cute, or this one’s butt is great, and on down the line. Three girls will be chosen, and we see some of the winners and the big checks they take home.
Pacquiao and his team are home — the Wild Card gym. Roach says that Pacquiao is not taking the fight lightly. Pacquiao says he is fast and has more experience than him, and he can’t be underestimated. Pacquiao works some mitts ferociously with Roach. Ariza mentions how usually aggressive fighters are made to order for Shane, and that’s what makes this is a good fight.
Back to Big Bear, and Mosley is talking about being on Twitter. We see that it’s actually Mosley Tweeting and talking to his fans. Mosley says he believes it’s going to be a knockout, but he doesn’t know which round. Mosley is in the ring and is taking rough blows with the medicine ball to the midsection. Mosley says that for Pacquiao to overcome him, it will be a whole different ballgame.
Roach talks about the first time Pacquiao came to the gym, and wanted to work with him because he heard he was good with the mitts. Roach says that he said, ‘wow, can this kid fight.’ Once again, the famous $1,000 knockdown fee for Pacquiao sparring partners gets brought up, and Roach says how his sparring partners aren’t really that, they’re contenders in the sport. Roach continues to talk about their game plan, and about their training, and about how by the time fight night comes, his job is done. There’s nothing more he can do, and it’s about Pacquiao.
Richardson says Pacquiao is supposed to blow Shane out of the water, so Shane better get a lot of accolades when he wins. Roach says Shane is getting what he wished for, his shot at Pacquiao, but by the end of the night he might not be that happy about it anymore. Shane says that somebody needs to be on their back by the end of the night. Roach says good luck to Shane, he’ll need it. Pacquiao says he’s excited to get to Vegas and fight again, and Shane says he’s ready to go to battle and let things go.
