UPDATE: [Mar. 23, 2009] Manny Pacquiao, like a prodigal son, reverted back to Solar Sports and GMA-7 as his media partners through a formal announcement. ABS-CBN issued a statement that they will respect Pacquiao's decision.
UPDATE: [Mar. 20, 2009] Apparently, the announcement by Pacman in national TV about his choice of network is without the blessing of Solar Sports and GMA-7. The two entities are the media partners of Pacquiao prior to his surprise announcement. Based on the two's statements, Pacquiao would have to win a side fight of sorts, for his desire of airing his fights via abs-cbn to come thru.
ABS-CBN network will be the network who will bring the Manny Pacquiao - Ricky Hatton fight on May 2, 2009.
Manny Pacquiao had another change of heart. This time, its about the network who will cover his fight against Ricky Hatton here in the Philippines.
Either network will actually do since broadcast is free. They are just the same in flooding their coverage with a lot of advertisements. But personally, I would like it better if its GMA 7 because my TV has a stronger reception of it.
I just hope that the decision would not be a distraction to Pacman's training.
Go Team PACQUIAO!
