Pacquiao’s mother Dionisia, known to many as “Mommy D,” has arrived in Los Angeles where her son is training for his July 20 fight in Las Vegas.

The 90-year-old Dionisia wasn’t at ringside last January when Manny dominated Adrien Broner for the unanimous decision victory.
Manny is deep into his training for the WBA Super World welterweight showdown against the undefeated American, who is 10 years his junior.
