Manny Pacquiao vs Timothy Bradley Return Match April 12.
Return Match between Manny Pacquiao vs Timothy Bradley at MGM Grand Las Vegas, Nevada on April 12, 2014
What can say?
Return Match between the undefeated Timothy Bradley and Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao will be back in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 12. If the Pacquiao-Bradley rematch happen, This is no longer the same as the first fight. Manny Pacquiao will not fight the way he fight before he experienced that knock out from Marquez, If i have to choose between the too fighters, I'll still go for Manny Pacquiao. The more chance he can win the fight because this time, He'll be careful, But I don't expect that he will display his sensational fighting style. What i mean is his killers instinct here, rather the "go go" style of Manny.
During there first fight, When Bradley was awarded a split decision victory, I was not convinced. Manny was ahead on my score card on points. When Manny Pacquiao win this match, It would be best that the Mega fight between Manny Pacquiao and Mayweather will push through. That is if Mayweather could not fine a reason for nor accepting the fight! He he he! "He is scared of Manny Pacquiao's ouckward style!
During the Manny Pacquiao and Brandon Rios fight in Macau, The way I look at it, Although Manny Pacquiao outclasses Brandon Rios, His killers instinct was not there. It's a bit of a play safe strategy. This is a Psychological effect on the knocked out he suffered from his 4th fight with Marquez. The way I look at it, This is the reason why the Team Pacquiao go for Bradley return match so that Manny Pacquiao can recover fully the lost confidence which is the after effect of the knock out he suffered from Marquez.
What i noticed during the Brandon Rios fight was, every time he backed Rios into a corner, Manny stepped back instead of going for it, or pushing through for the kill for the knock out.
It was a play safe strategy because he knows that Rios is also a hard puncher, But a flat footed and a standing target. This rematch with Tim Bradley, although Bradley has a good knock out record, It's easy for Manny Pacquiao to win on points as long as it would be a different judges this time.
I still would like to watch Juan Manuel Marquez vs Manny Pacquiao on their 5th fight. Although their was a knock out, it was just a lucky punch! I'd been watching the fight several times, It was Marquez who was ready to go down when Manny Pacquiao start attacking Marquez for the Kill, But on the last 8 seconds left of the round, Manny was hit by that "Lucky Punch" that put him to sleep.
I call it a "Lucky Punch" because the round was almost over. ( To be Continued)

WHEN THE PEOPLE'S CHAMP MANNY PACQUIAO WAS STILL LOOKING FOR A MANAGER
It was April of year 2000, When i arrived from almost a year of stay in the states. I was looking for probable business to augment my deteriorating income in the Real Estate Business after we were badly hit by the Asian Crisis.
My LOVE of the sport BOXING brought me back to the small LM Gym in Paquita St. Sampaloc, Manila, Where i used to be there everyday to watch the training of my boxers from 1990 to 1993. I used to have nine boxers in my stable, training at LM GYM. I was able to developed a light weight Champion in two year time from the day i started managing The "Cadorna Boxing Stable".
One afternoon i visited the LM Gym, and i was looking for the former Trainer of my boxers Mr. Ben Delgado who happens to be my Trainer as an Amature boxer when i was still in Davao City way back 1975 at Davao Boxing Gym in Quirino Ave., Davao City. This Gym was own by Mr. Vic Quiambao.
In a few minutes some of the boxers in LM Gym Called up Manong Ben as i used to call him. He was so glad and so exited to see me again in the Gym! We shook hands and we had a cup of coffee in the canteen and started convincing me to Manage boxers again.
I was a bit cool and relaxed, but what i noticed in his eyes was his interest of working with me again. He whispered to me, I HAVE A GIFT TO YOU! I SAID, WHAT is it? He said, a boxer who is looking for a MANAGER. I ask him, what's his weight division? and he answered He is a mini-fly weight! He is a ten rounder already, he told me. I did not even ask the name yet, I just ask him, can i see him? In few minutes he introduce me a very young slim guy. I said ok, and the boxer went back inside the Gym silently. I commented to Manong Ben that I'm not interested to manage boxers again. Ben told me, Just get this boxer Peter, only one and I'll take care of him. I slowly ask Manong Ben, What's his (the Boxer) name? And he replied, His name is Manny Pacquiao from (Gensan)General Santos City, a City in Minadanao. I commented to Manong Ben, He's too thin for a boxer! I don't have trust in his built!
I did not even give a chance to talk to Manny Pacquiao because i was more interested in talking to Manong Ben. We haven't talked for more than a year. Few months later, Manny Pacquiao was manage by Mr. Polding Corea. This the first Manager of Manny Pacquiao in Manila. In a a year time Manny became a Flyweight World Champion. During the early year of training in Manila, it was Ben Delgado who handle Manny Pacquiao until he fought the World Super Bantam Weight IBF Championship against the Champion Lehlohonolo Ledwaba in the states where he knocked out Lebwaba in the 6th rd., Manong Ben was still with Manny during that fight where they met Freddie Roach. If you watch that fight in youtube you can see Manong Ben At the Corner of Manny together with Freddie Roach. That was Manny Pacquiao's turning point! That was the last time i saw Manong Ben in the fights of Manny Pacquiao. It was Freddie Roach head the training Camp and Boboy Fernandez.
I think, it was his way of thanking me of what i have done good to him in the past.
When i was about to close my Boxing Stable, Ben Delgado got blend! and it was his two eyes! When i saw him with his son Allan and his wife in the appartment i rented for him and the boxers, Ben could really not see. The wife was there who came from Davao City, handed to me Durian fruit since Davao City is famous for Durian. Without Ben asking for help, idecided to sent him to MCU Hospital in Caloocan City for the operation of his two eyes. Manong Ben is like a father to me. After the operation he was able to see again. After that I was out of Country for almost a year until we met again at LM GYM where he introduced Manny to me.
During Manny's fight with Oscar "Tiololo" Larios, a former world champion Mexican fighter in Araneta Collesium, Manny and his entourage checked in at Manila Hotel. Since it was near to my Real Estate Office in Ermita Manila, When i was connected with Moldex Realty, I decided to take my breakfast at Manila hotel in the Hope of talking to Manny Pacquiao so i can offer him some Real Estate Investment. But when i arrived at Manila Hotel, Manny Pacquiao was resting already at his room so with Gerry Pinalosa on the other room. I was able to talk first to Dodie Boy Pinalosa, the elder brother of Gerry and the former World Flyweight Champion also and in a while i was able to talked to Freddie Roach. I introduced myself, i handed it to him my Business Card.
We chat for few minutes, I mentioned about Manong Ben, and Freddie responded that he remember Manong Ben. He told me that, that was the last time he saw Ben Delgado during the first fight of Manny Pacquiao in the States. Since then, he haven't seen Ben Delgado anymore. This was also the first time Ben entered United states of America, and I was so glad seeing him in that fight. From there onward, i haven't seen Ben Delgado anymore...
While watching every fights and the success of the People's Champ Manny Pacquiao, I could not imagine the income he garnered from fights including the income of his Manager and the Trainers! At the start i regret of not giving the chance to manage Manny Pacquiao, But later on, I also realized that he is not for me. On the other hand I told my friends, Manny is Blessed! Jokingly I told them also, He might not be that successful as he is now, if I was the one managing him! HE! He! He!
After his 2nd fight with Eric Morales if I'm mistaken, Manny visited the LM Gym in Paquita St. in Sampaloc Manila with only One Companion, No body Guard at all. It happened that i was also there chatting with some Boxing Trainers who were my friends also. I was about to congratulate him for his Successful fight, But i could not afford to get closer to Manny, I was so Ashamed with him due to what had happen.
Until now, October 13, 2010, as I am editing this blog, I haven't talked to Manny, I don't even think if Manny could Remember me.
The morale of the lesson is READ NOT A BOOK BY IT'S COVER ALONE! SUCCESS IS A LONG PROCESS THAT YOU HAVE TO WENT THROUGH...THERE'S NO SUCH OVERNIGHT SUCCESS!
Thanks for your time, See you on my next posts, there are more interesting information about boxing management in the Philippines!

Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao's Instinct to Succeed!
In my previous topic, I mentioned my trainer and the trainer of my boxers Ben Delgado who handled the training of Manny Pacquiao in Manila aside from Boboy Fernandez. Ben Delgado was one of those who accompanied Manny for his first fight to the United States for the Super Bantam Weight IBF Championship against the Champion Lehlohonolo Ledwaba.
He was the corner man of Manny during that fight. Manny knocked out Lebwaba during that fight and became a World Super Bantam Weight IBF Champion. That fight was the turning point of Manny Pacquiao to stardum where he is right now! In spite of his big win over Lebwaba, An ordinary boxer would decide to retain Ben Delgado in his camp for his future fights in United States. Instead of retaining Ben Delgado, He choose Freddie Roach to handle his training for what ever reasons. One thing for sure, Ben Delgado is too old to handle Manny Pacquiao.
What i'm trying to drive at here is the way Manny Pacquiao decides for his career. He uses his head not his heart! He is gifted with that type of instinct. Even when choose a Manager, Much more during his fight in the ring. His impact to the crowd even during his early interview by the Media. The Instinct to win the heart of the people when he answers the question of the Media men. This was even developed little by little as he became more famous. It was the frequent interview by the Media that help developed Manny Pacquiao's confidence talking before a crowd.
This was even more intensified when he entered Politics, running for a Government Office as a Congressman in his Home Town. He failed on his first attempt. Just like his boxing career, he was knocked out during his early and mid career and yet became the Pound for Pound Best boxer in the World! A highly celebrated Stardum in his boxing career. The rug to riches story of Manny Pacquaio inspire a lot of people not only boxers but to all boxing fans in the entire World!
He opens new hope to those who just started their boxing career, not only in the Philippines, but in the whole world! Manny Pacquiao is a good Model to all who are involved in sports. Due to his instinct to succeed, His self discipline is built in, specially from the time he is on training and the time he fights in the ring.

It was a moonlight night were almost everyone can't afford to sleep at
night in the Island. It's full of excitement, walking along the beach

You can see husband and wife walking holdings hands to each other. Young
ones walking with their love ones holding hands with each other. It's a
place where you can express LOVE AND JOY! It's a place where couples
relationship can be renewed, A place where you can cement relationship
to make it more stronger than ever. A place where you can have a piece
of mind a get energized.
When you look at the clubs along the beach, all are full of customers of
different races, making fiends to each other. Everybody appreciates the
beauty of nature and the sounds of the clubs. During the early hour of
the evening, You can see people drinking all over the clubs. Towards the
later hour of the night, you can see almost everybody is dancing with joy!
Wow! it's entirely a different experience! A place where you can't afford

Saudi Experience (Part5)
Saudi Experience (Part5)
Three days after my arrival from Jeddah, My wife
and me met at the house of my cousin somewhere
in Quezon City where she endorsed to me our three
children (all boys). My problem was the kids could
no longer recognize me any more. It was my first
cousin Inday who became close to the kids after
thirty minutes of stay at my cousin's house.
Since i don't have the house to stay i have
decided to bring the kids to my Home Town in
Guindulman, Bohol. I convinced my first cousin
Inday to accompany me to Bohol because i could
not even hold the youngest, He will cry if i will
hold him. In the late afternoon, we proceed to the
Pier and rode at MV/Cebu City bound for Bohol.
It's a twenty four hour ride from Manila to the
Port of Tagbilaran City in Bohol. During the night
of our travel, we encounter a strong storm along
our way,and most of the passengers were seriously
praying, others were crying and all of the
children in that ship were crying. Very strong wind
and big waves were hitting us. I thought the ship
will sink. This lasted for more than three hours.
All of my kids were crying. We had a sleepless
night during travel. When all of the children
inside the ship were crying, That was also the time
that i was able to hold Jed (my youngest) who was
less than one year old during that time.
Every body was scared during that trip, but i was
very happy because i became closer to my kids
starting that night. When we arrived at home, my
parents and me were so glad to see the kids, but
at the same time asking also where's the mother?
So i have to explain the entire story to them. After
telling them the story, i told them my plans that
for the mean time i will leave the kids to them
for one month while looking for a house to stay
in Manila. All of their reactions except my father
were all negative! My mother told me, I'm old
already to take care of the kids. My married sister
also told me that she can't promise to help me. My
late brother who was about to get married during
that time told me also that he can't promise to
hepl me because he is getting married alredy.
I have nowhere to go except to bite the bullets.
For the last chance , i talked to my father that
i have to go back to Manila so i can look for a
House to live in. My father agree with me. The
following day I brought Julius (the eldest) to
my very close Aunt, the sister of my mother and
they agree to take care of Julius. The Eldest was
separated with his two younger brothers for a while.
I went back to Manila and was able to find a house
for us. My next problem was if i have to bring the
kids to Manila without a heper i can't move. First
week in Manila i sent some amount to my parents for
the kids expenses. It lasted for thre months before
i can get back the kids it's because i make sure to
produce a Sales before i got them back for financial
security. On the third month i went back to Bohol to
get the kids. I have to convinced my youngest sister
Juliet to go with me to Manila and promised here to
send to college. Since she just graduated from high
school, She agree with me. It was Juliet who played
the role of a mother to my kids until my youngest Jed,
was already first year high school. I owe a lot to
my sister Juliet because without her i can't be
effective in my job. At first i have to trained her
everything specially in managing the kids.
I have to research for training program on Quality
parenting and share it with juliet what i learn
from the program so that all our moves will be
coordinated. I have to read books on adult and
child psychology so as to understand the behavior
of the children so i can adjust to them. I bought
training program for the kids specially the
subliminal training. While the children are sleeping
i play the program. I enroll them in special training
programs like the Psykids. I enrolled them in swimming
lessons, in Drawing, in marital art to make them
active and develop the early self confidence.
When i started earning my millions, i decide to stay
in Valle Verde II so that they will grow in a good
environment and at the same time gain a self
confidence and build up a good network for the future.
When they were in Elementary,i enrolled them at
Montissouri and in high school they got special
sudjects for Math at KUMON School. This is a
school thet specialized in MATH for children. VERY
expensive school. All of my kids were junior golfers.
This is how i build up their foundation, thats why
i did not find hard time Managing them except during
the early years specially when one got fever, all
of them got fever. Their were so many sleepless
nights and pressures during their early years.
I was yet then a Top Producer in my job and got a lot
of promotions until i reach the Sr. Vice President
Position of Fil-Estate Group. I owe a lot also from
my Company for the contineous training that they
offered me, specially to my President Mr. Roger C.
Damasco who sponsored me at ASIAN INSTITUTE OF
MANAGEMENT, Though i shoulder all the expenses. I owe
it to Fil-Estate my Growth in the Real Estate
Profession. Thank you so much to all the people
behind the company.
Thanks to all the readers for you time.

EXPERIENCE IN SAUDI ARABIA (Part 4)
EXPERIENCE IN SAUDI ARABIA (Part 4)
After the two unforgetable experiences during my first month
in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, I was challenged to work double time
to generate fast income. That year 1985 was the start of the so
called Saudization, where in the Expats who are finish contract
were no longer renewed, Instead the jobs of the Expats were given
to Saudi Nationals.
Many highly paid Filipinos were finish contract, and those who were
left were the low and the average income earner only. Inspite of my
double time on my job selling Real Estate in the Philippines to
Filipino Contract workers in Saudi Arabia, My income was still so
slow. I decide to do some sidelines, I started to sell practically
anything to all Filipinos that i met. Form Hopia to siopao,
Door to Door Cargo, Door to Door remittance.
In most of the big Hospitals in Jeddah, Where most of the nurses
can't get out from the Hospital to buy anything they need to buy
in the Market, they'll just oder it from me, and i make a little
income on it. Remember, we don't have the salary, We were on
commmision basis. I really felt the pressure on how to make both
ends meet.It was May of 1985 when we arrived in Jeddah, Saudi
Arabia. After few months of working there, all of my companions
were going home for Christmas! All of us did not make as far as
income that we were expecting to earn. That's the reason i did not
go with them. I was left in our office and at the same time our
Villa. Few days before they left for Manila, I recieved a news
from one of my people in Manila saying that my wife has a
relationship to another man.
With the loneliness and boredom that everyone of us experienced in
Jeddah, I was a bit affected, My office mates were counseling me,
But i did not show them my negative reactions. After they left for
Manila, i was alone in the office and our villas. Our head for that
International operation hired a partime bookeeper/accountant, to
do the reporting and the remittance of all collections for Manila.
The accountant will report to the office after his duty from his
company, since it was just his second job.
After few months since my office mates left for Manila, I recieved
another news from the same person from Manila. This person is very
close friend of mine. This time the news was really bad! My wife was
three months pregnant! It prompted me to call Manila and i was able
to talked to my wife. It was positive that she is pregnant! When she
told me about it, there was a sudden change of feelings deep inside,
I trembled while talking to her, I could not understand my feelings,
I don't know what to say, It was a mixed emotion! I don't even know
if i was angry? All i ask from her was who will take care of the
kids? And she told me to go home because she will endorse the three
boys to me. The youngest during that time was less than one year old,
the second was two years old and the eldest was five years old. I
agree, but i can't go home immediately because i don't yet have the
money.
This was the start of my being mentally and emotionally tortured.
There were so many sleepless nights, Where i made nights into days
and days into nights. I was counting minutes into hours, hours
into days, days into months and months into years. There were
moments that i have to ask the almighty, What have i done wrong?
But since i'm alone, i have to answer my own question, I have to
move on! I continued on my daily routine, However, this time i
don't have the direction driving my car. I felt floating on the
air! This lasted for more than a month. On the second month i
started talking to my self, convincing myself to put focus and
redirect myself.
I was back on my foot on the second month and double time on
my sidelines. I happen to drop by a Korean store selling golden
necklace with a cute pendants, So bought one and i offer this
to Filipinos for installment basis for two gives. I bought it
at SR. 75.00 (Saudi Riyal) and sold it at Sr. 175.00. I sold
twenty pcs. in two weeks, and i made some income. After i completed
the collection of the balance, I schedule myself to go back to Manila.
I told my friends with regards to my vacation because it's a new
Filipino culture there in Saudi that who ever go home for a vacation
many of their friends will send even letters to their families.
During those year no body knows about internet. Mails would usually
take a month before it can reach to the destination.
The days before my flight, i got an early visitor in the office
looking for me, I thought they will send letters for their families,
They were four of them returning back the necklace to me because
it was a fake gold. Since they know that i'm going Home for Manila,
they even threaten me if i'll not give back the money, they will go
to the airport and advice the Immigration for a hold order. I did not
know that it was a fake gold since the korean guy told me it was pure
gold. And besides we were in a country which has a lot of gold. If you
will go to the gold Market, you will find plenty of golds. You can
even build a building of gold! Without hesitation i gave back their
money. These four guy knew that i'm going home but they don't know
the exact date of my flight. It was only me who knows the exact date
of my flight. There were more friends of these four guys who bought
from me. They told me that the following day, they'll be back with
their three friends. So i just told the four guys to bring the necklace
so i can give back their money. I told them also that i'll return it
to the Korean store were i bought the necklace.
My flight was 9:00am the following day, so i should be at the
airport at 6:00am. When i was about to get my boarding pass, i
saw the six guys were there at the airport. They drove for their
friend to the airport who is bound for Manila. I pretend to be
relaxed, and i approached them and ask for the necklace so i can
give back the money to them. Since they did not brought the necklace
with them, we just agree that i'll give the money to their family
once they can send the necklace to Manila. It's easy for them to send
the necklace to Manila since almost every other day they have friends
going Home for Manila whose contract were finish. I was a little
bit nervous while talking to them at the airport because they can
cause a delayed on my flight if they want to do it. I felt so
guilty to the people whom i sold the necklace who didn't know that
it was a fake gold. Had i still have the time to return back their
money and get back the necklace, I'll do it. I'm really sorry for
the other customers.
My exit was normal, and when i arrived Manila, i was fetched by my
President and some office mates together with my wife. Since my
President knows our problem, He immediately offer a room for me in
his house. We proceed to my President's house and i gave chocolates
to everyone including my wife and for the kids.
After few minutes of talking to my office mates and my Boss,
since they know our problem, they give as time to talk privately,
then we agree on the date, time and place for her to endorse the
kids to me. Few Minutes later everybody went home already.
More Excitements and thrills on my next chapter!
1. What was the reaction of the kids, they did not saw me for
more than a year?
2. Where did i brought them, i don't have the house?
3. How did i manage, my kids and my career? I was a top
producer in our company?
4. What happen to my career and my kids when i started
managing them three?
See you on the next chapter, (part 5)
