HBO's 24/7 Pacquiao/Cotto lead up is in episode three, where odds favorite, Manny Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KOs) focuses on his training regime amidst personality clashes in the camp, while Miguel Cotto (34-1, 27 KOs) and his team prepare to move training camp to Las Vegas a week early to further prepare him for the Nov. 14 match.
Pacquiao is currently in LA preparing to step up his training and conditioning as the days lead up to the Nov. 14 welterweight showdown against Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, PacMan was quoted last week saying Floyd Mayweather doesn't want to fight him, and he doesn't expect the fight to happen.
Mike Koncz, Pacquiao's adviser (49-3-2), was asked about a possible Mayweather fight after Pacquiao's bout with Miguel Cotto on Nov. 14 in Las Vegas.
“Do we wanna do Mayweather? Of course we wanna do Mayweather,” Koncz told ABS-CBN News. “But we won’t be railroaded and pushed around, bullied around.
"We don’t need Mayweather. If Manny gets past Cotto in great fashion, I don’t believe it makes a difference who he fights next. ... We’re not gonna chase Mayweather, absolutely not."
Episode #3 debuts prior to the live presentation “World Championship Boxing: Chad Dawson vs. Glen Johnson II and Alfredo Angulo vs. Harry Joe Yorgey” at 9:30 p.m (ET)/6:30 p.m. (PT).
Actor Liev Schreiber narrates the series and the finale of 24/7 Pacquiao/Cotto which debuts Friday, Nov. 13 (9:30-10:00 p.m.), just one night before the fight.
All four episodes have multiple replay dates on HBO, and the series is also available on HBO On Demand.
On Saturday, Nov. 14 at 9:00 p.m. (ET)/6:00 p.m. (PT), HBO Pay-Per-View presents “Pacquiao vs. Cotto,” live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Elaborating on the impending matchup, "Mayweather seems to handpick his opponents while Cotto will fight anybody and everybody,” Koncz added. “So to me I feel Cotto is the much stronger fighter than Mayweather."
