After much pomp and circumstance, the fight everybody has been waiting for is finally becoming a reality, as eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao is all set to go head-to-head with boxing’s pound for pound king, Floyd Mayweather Jr. Pacquiao is currently at Los Angeles, California for his rigorous training with the goal of putting a dent on Mayweather’s 47-0 record.
The highly anticipated matchup can be seen in the Philippines courtesy of Solar Sports, the longtime broadcast partner of Pacquiao’s fights. Solar Sports has continuously brought to the Filipino nation the coverage of the boxing icon’s rise to superstardom. The partnership continues in what pundits call as the biggest bout in boxing history – the “Battle for Greatness.” With an event of this magnitude, Solar Entertainment Corporation – who owns all media rights – has reached a deal with various media outlets as part of the company’s aim of bringing the fight closer to the people and reaching a wider audience. As a matter of fact, it was Manny Pacquiao himself who stated that he wants to unify the Philippines’ leading broadcast networks with the help of his showdown against the undefeated American boxer.
Fans from across the nation can catch the historic event LIVE as it happens and commercial free via Solar All Access, either at home or through official partner establishments. The fight can also be seen on a slightly delayed basis on partner free-to-air channels.
