In this March 23, 2011, file photo, Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao, left, trains with coach Freddie Roach in Baguio, northern Philippines. Pacquiao is dedicating his comeback fight against Brandon Rios to the victims of the devastating typhoon that has left hundreds of thousands displaced in his native Philippines. The eight-division champion is in camp in the southern Philippines — only about 320 kilometers (200 miles) from where Typhoon Haiyan caused the most destruction — for the Nov. 24 bout in Macau.
