Source : Lee Jimenez, InterAKTVManny Pacquiao will travel down to Manila from Baguio City, site of his high-altitude training camp the last three weeks, on Friday after he finishes his final workout at the Cooyeesan Hotel.
A little over a month before he faces Juan Manuel Marquez for the third time at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Pacquiao is schedule to fly to the US on Saturday night with his training team, advisers and entourage.
Trainer Freddie Roach would reunite with Pacquiao at the Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood on Monday afternoon to jumpstart the most crucial phase of his eight-week buildup for the Marquez trilogy.
It will be at Wild Card where Pacquiao will have his toughest sparring although he has been given some quality time by Venezuelan hotshot Jorge Linares the past two weeks.
Roach will send in a new and fresher batch by the time sparring sessions resume at the famed sweatshop on Vine Street.
Pacquiao is an overwhelming 8-1 favorite to send Marquez into retirement.

Meanwhile, reports from Mexico City show that the 38-year-old Marquez is also in the thick of training.
Marquez has tapped two undefeated fighters – welterweight Ramses Agaton and lightweight Jose Perea – to help him sharpen his skills for the 32-year-old Filipino pound-for-pound king.
Ace publicist Ricardo Jimenez said Marquez has been making lots of heads turn while training under the tutelage of Nacho Beristain at the Romanza Gym.
