Possible Reasons For The Decline
Distractions in the Philippines
Manny is a huge star in his native Philippines. The streets of metro Manila on any other day are usually overcrowded with swarms of people, but go there on a fight day suddenly the streets are completely deserted apart from the odd bewildered dog or cat. Billboards everywhere are adorned with pictures of their hero, no matter what direction you look you are bound to see Pacmans face. Everywhere Manny goes he creates hysteria. There are too many distractions and people wanting to get a piece of the champ. Pacquiao needs to get back to his roots and the nitty gritty of boxing if he is to regain his hunger. Perhaps by training away from home the Pacman can regain his hunger for the fight.
