Pacman starts training Aug for Morales

A scant three days after carving a masterful 12-round victory Sunday for the WBC superfeatherweight championship, Manny Pacquiao, is raring to go back in training for his anticipated fight against the Mexican Erik "El Terible" Morales.

"I’ll start training in August," said Pacquiao during the victory party at the Mandaluyong head office of San Miguel Corporation, which hosted a "Magpapa-inom si Manny" gathering for media and friends last Wednesday.

"I will really train hard for Morales," said the Filipino boxing icon who is a franchisee and an endorser of SMC and the company’s various products.

With hardly any marks on him from his encounter with former world bantamweight champion Oscar Larios, Pacquiao again expressed his gratitude to his countrymen for their support to the "Mano a Mano" classic last Sunday.

"Masaya po ako at nakapag-bigay na naman ako ng kasiyahan kahit papaano sa ating mga kababayan, tulad din ng pagbibigay ng kasayahan ng San Miguel sa milyun-milyong tumatangkilik sa mga produkto nito tulad ng San Miguel Beer, Ginebra San Miguel, Magnolia Fresh Milk, Magnolia Ice Cream at marami pang iba,"
