After burning the lines with his promoter, his adviser and an emissary from Malacañang, Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao agreed to cut short his scheduled family vacation, fly straight to the Big Apple and receive his Fighter of the Year award from the Boxing Writers Association of America on Saturday.
Pacquiao reportedly had second thoughts on personally receiving his second Fighter of the Year award from the BWAA, and in fact flew to Bohol yesterday morning after spending a night in Cebu City with his family, including wife Jinkee and kids Jimuel, Michael, Princess and Queen Elizabeth, and close friends.
Pacquiao will arrive there Friday morning, and can still afford a few hours of rest before gracing the BWAA dinner. The following evening he is also scheduled to watch the Miguel Cotto-Josh Clottey fight at Madison Square Garden along with Freddie Roach, who will receive the Trainer of the Year for the third time.
