Boxing champion Manny Pacquiao is profiled in the November issue of Playboy.
The story “In the Jungle With Manny Pacquiao” written by Kevin Cook, shares billing in the “College Issue” with the Girls of the SEC.
Cook goes to the Philippines to detail both a championship boxing career and the beginning of a political one.
About Pacquiao’s training methods:
He stays chaste for 21 days before a bout, husbanding his energies for postfight festivities. And with that policy, (trainerFreddie) Roach says “when a fighter wins, the couple is usually very happy that night.”
Pacquiao on his hobby of raising fighting roosters:
“I like the sport. I like the roosters. It’s like boxing — the rooster has to be in shape. He has to train for the fight and he has to have so much fight in his heart.”
