He’s calm, cool, and collected.

“Having hurdled various obstacles as he climbed the boxing ladder, Pacquiao relishes the underdog tag bestowed on him against Floyd Mayweather Jr,” reports Roy Luarca in Philippine Daily Inquirer.

The report noted: “Oddsmakers in Las Vegas, the site of the May 2 fight, are giving Mayweather the advantage.”
 

Pacquiao told Agence France-Presse, “I’ve been in this kind of situation many times in my previous fights. It doesn’t scare me. I love being the underdog.”

Pacquiao is slated to return to Manila on Tue, Feb 24, to coach KIA Carnival on its game against Talk N’ Text on Wednesday. He is set to fly to Los Angeles, where he’ll hold training camp at chief trainer Freddie Roach’s Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, on Feb 28.
