Manny Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach has offered $1,000 to any sparring partner that can knock the Filipino down, local media reported.

Pacquiao, widely regarded the world's best pound-for-pound fighter, started training on Wednesday at Hollywood's Wild Card boxing club in Los Angeles ahead of his Nov. 14 challenge for Miguel Cotto's WBO welterweight title in Las Vegas.

"(The money's) still with me and I am telling the new sparring partners that they will be rewarded with $1,000 if they score a knockdown over Manny in sparring," Roach told the Manila Bulletin newspaper's website.
