A week after opening training camp, Pacquiao hired Donaire to help out in plotting tactical plans against Matthysse. "Donaire will serve as one of the assistant coaches," said Pacquiao, who did two trial rounds with the mitts with the elder Donaire. It was Donaire Sr. — originally hailing also from General Santos City — who trained and honed his son, who later won multiple former world championships in three weight divisions. I am happy with my current team," said Pacquiao, who took a break from training during the weekend to rest and relax. Pacquiao’s longtime friend and confidant Buboy Fernandez will still act as head trainer along with assistant trainer Nonoy Neri.
