The scare over the disease formerly known as swine flu has dampened the much-awaited “Battle of East and West,” but Team Pacquiao is not pushing the panic button because of it.
In fact, Manny Pacquiao, few days before his big fight with Ricky Hatton, continued to welcome guests in his hotel suite, although with some restrictions.
The virus that causes swine flu, renamed H1N1 Influenza, has caused some concern here, but despite its first detection in Nevada, on a two-year-old girl from Washoe County, tourists continue to flock in.
They’re here for a big weekend, one that features the highly awaited showdown between two great boxers coming from opposite ends of the world, on Saturday (Sunday, Manila time) at the MGM Grand.
In Pacquiao’s suite, everything is swine flu-free.
The only visitor so far who came to the room wearing a facemask was Rod Nazario, Pacquiao’s former business manager. He said at his age, in his seventies perhaps, he’s just playing it safe.
