Manny Pacquiao held his media workout session last week, and the reports have been coming in nonstop since that he’s been looking in excellent shape.

Freddie Roach Video Interview
Roach’s interview here is the longest, and this clip is almost six minutes in length. Roach talks about how training has been going and how they’ve been picking up sparring and more, as well as how he expects the fight to play out and what Manny needs to do to get the critics off his back.

Bob Arum Video Interview
