Pacquiao more inspired with return of wife, baby from US

MANILA, Philippines – The world's top pound-for-pound boxer, Manny Pacquiao, is more inspired to train for his May 2 bout with Britain's Ricky Hatton now that his wife Jinkee and newborn fourth child, Queen Elizabeth, have come home from the US.

"Itong fight ko kay Ricky Hatton, alay ko ito sa pamilya ko, especially to Queenie – Queen Elizabeth – at siyempre sa mamamayang Pilipino," Pacquiao said in an interview with James Velasquez, which was aired early Sunday morning over "GMA Weekend Report."

["This fight with Ricky Hatton I dedicate to my family, especially Queenie – Queen Elizabeth –and of course, to the Filipino people."]

Pacquiao is set start training in mid-February. That gives him some three weeks to spend with family, which his wife says is as big as it will ever get.

In the same GMA report, Jinkee said: "Para sa akin, apat tama na, kasi may two girls, may two boys na," she said. "Para sa akin okey na yun. Gusto kong maalagaan sila lahat, maasikaso sila lahat."

["For me, four are enough, because we already have two girls and two boys. For me that's okay. I want to be able to take care of them all, attend to them all."]

The oldest are Emmanuel Jr., or Jimwell, and Michael, who are both 9 years old, followed by Mary Divine Grace, or Princess, who is 2.

Queenie was born last Dec. 30 at n the Los Angeles Metropolitan Hospital in Los Angeles, California – just 24 days after Pacquiao beat Oscar de la Hoya, whose corner threw in the towel after the eighth round.

Mother and daughter had to stay in Los Angeles, on doctor's orders, because the newborn might not be able to take the change in air pressure of an plane ride. - GMANews.TV
