During Manny Pacquiao's showdown against Floyd Mayweather in what is dubbed as the Fight of the Century, his fans, his home country and his team will be by his side, cheering him on every punch and every jab.
Needless to say, the Pacquiao family would not miss this occasion for the world. His five kids will watch their daddy do what he does best inside the ring and Manny's wife Jinkee will be there rooting for the man of her life.
Although Jinkee has tried convincing her husband to retire from boxing, her support for her husband in the sport that Pacquiao loved ever since does not falter. Her presence in this historic throwdown tomorrow is imperative as this is the match Pacquiao and basically everyone worked hard for to make happen. Jinkee, who is also the vice governor of Sarangani, flew to Las Vegas with PacMan and their kids on Apr. 28 to prepare for the battle.
Jinkee is not worried about her man's clash with Mayweather although she admits that she will probably be quite nervous as the fight inches closer. She tells this to a group of Filipino sportswriters she came across with in Sunset Boulevard as she ate out with friends and family in a burger joint.
All the same, she is very confident that Pacquiao will defeat the undisputed boxer and reiterates that he will have to knock him out. She has seen Manny train and that alone convinces her that Mayweather's flawless record will be no more. "I am not worried because he did his best in training," she said in full confidence.
On the other hand, Jinkee has been very vocal about Pacquiao's imminent retirement. It is said that he will have a couple more fights before he finally leaves the boxing ring. She reveals that he plans to stay in the US for a while following this. But for now, the biggest focus is Manny's much-awaited battle against Mayweather Jr. set to happen Saturday.
