LOS ANGELES — The curious case of Manny Pacquiao’s calf muscles took another twist last weekend, when the Filipino boxer missed his routine morning roadwork session a little more than a month out from his May 2 mega-fight with Floyd Mayweather.
With his regular running partners having assembled outside his Hancock Park house just after 6 a.m. on Saturday, strength and conditioning coach Justin Fortune arriving soon after, and a throng of excited fans waiting a few miles down the road at Pan Pacific Park, word soon filtered out that the 36-year-old would be a no-show.
«Manny won’t run today,» Fortune said. «It is not the end of the world, but we do it for a reason.»
Trainer Freddie Roach sparked some concerns earlier last week by admitting that Pacquiao had been suffering from cramps in his legs, claiming they were being treated by a combination of massage and a special cream that costs $1,800 per bottle.
