Following up on the review last week, it seemed like a good idea to interview Gary Andrew Poole about his new biography of Manny Pacquiao. So we chatted for about a half hour tonight, talking about how he came to do the book, Manny's distractions in the camp for his upcoming bout with Antonio Margarito and the like.
The book's doing pretty well, by the way -- it's been the top boxing book on Amazon for a couple weeks, and it's picked up some nice word of mouth buzz. Here's word from the mouth of the man himself.
(The interview answers are verbatim, except in the spots where there's an ellipsis due to bad note-taking. My questions have been modified to make me sound less goofy, which is par for the course for the interview business, but it's also just because I don't remember my specific fumbling phrasings word-for-word.)
