Loose lips sink ships. Suddenly, the quiet Filipino star, who has let trainer Freddie Roach assume the burden of being the flapping gums behind the Pacquiao phenomenon, can’t seem to shut up. Every week, we see several direct quotes from Pacquiao, all disparaging Mayweather and the possibility of an upcoming mega-fight. It’s not Roach anymore. It’s not even Bob Arum; This is all Manny. Given the fact that he’s harder to reach than the President and has an entire army of press agents, representatives, and hangers-on, it’s a sure thing that Manny is actively pushing to get his verbiage into the public. There is no doubt that this is a public relations campaign, but the objective, at this point, remains to be seen.
