Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao: Solar Sports Pay Hefty Sum

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

SOLAR Sports has paid $10 million for the Philippine television rights of the Fight of the Century between between eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao and undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. to be held at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 2 (May 3 in Manila).

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told BoxingScene.com/Standard/Viva Sports that the multi-network telecast of the fight, which was requested by Pacquiao himself, is likely to end up with GMA-7, which has telecast most of the Pacquiao fights since the showdown with Marco Antonio Barrera in November 2003; ABS-CBN, which regularly telecasts the Pacquiao fights in the Middle East in particular over The Filipino Channel, and even TV5.

Filipinos are lucky to be so indigent as ppv rates are so damn cheap:

1,500-2,000 php = 33.5-44.7 USD

The last time I watched a live PPV cinema fight in the Philippines, it was Pac-Margarito.

Cost us 600 pesos each. (13 dollars)

They dont pay ppv or pacquiao fights in the PI. Its free to watch anywhere there.

That's what a company in a 3rd world country is capable of paying right there.
