Watch Pacquiao Hatton Live

The much awaited Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton boxing match tagged as “Battle of East and West” overall income will somehow be  affected by Swine Flu (already named as H1N1 virus). Pinoys in US will probably be choosing to stay at home, avail of PayPerView and watch the boxing match on TV. It is still live and not exposing themselves to crowded place MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

I’m not convinced with the Free Pacquiao-Hatton Live Stream or Free Pacquiao-Hatton Online posts most bloggers post on their blogs. I got irritated when I watch The Dream Match fight of Manny Pacquiao and Oscar dela Hoya online. After the 4th round, the live online screening stopped. Buffering… and all of the people in the chatroom started complaining. I ended up waiting for the delayed telecast on GMA7 and Solar Sports.

I don’t want to end up like this again… and will probably be avoiding crowded places just to watch it live.

I hope all pinoys who are going to be there in Las Vegas should submit themselves for voluntary quarantine, including Pacquiao, his staff and the rumored estimated 50 Congressmen. We won’t be needing the fame from Pacquiao’s victory if we will be having a Pinoy who will spread the H1N1 virus in the Philippines.

Pacquiao, Solar Sports Settled Contract Issues

Contract issues between Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao and Solar Sports with GMA 7 is settled. This week, a video of Manny Pacquiao was aired in TV Patrol announcing that ABS CBN will be his new media partner in future boxing bouts including Pacquiao vs Hatton Match in May 2. He reportedly signed a contract to ABS CBN so he can return to Kapamilya Network. SNN (Showbiz News Ngayon) host Kris Aquino even said on air that Jinky Pacquiao, wife of Manny told her that Manny had long been want to come back to Kapamilya Network.

Solar Sports Entertainment earlier announced that Pacquiao had returned to its fold after a meeting between Wilson Tieng and chief operating officer Peter Chanliong and Pacquiao in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, GMA 7 and Solar Sports Entertainment had renewed their contract last week.

“Solar Entertainment Corporation, Manny Pacquiao and MP Promotions, are happy to announce that in the spirit of utmost good faith, the parties have favorably resolved their unfortunate misunderstanding. Manny and MP Promotions have agreed to honor the television rights agreement and fully comply with the terms and conditions therein,” Solar Sports Entertainment said.

“Taos puso akong humihingi ng paumanhin kung kayo man ay naguluhan kung saan ipapalabas ang aking darating na laban kay Ricky Hatton. Ito po ay resulta lang ng hindi pagkaka-intindihan sa pagitan ng Solar Entertainment Corporation at MP Promotions,” Manny Pacquiao said.

“Manny Pacquiao approached ABS-CBN to be his media partner in airing his next fights. We thank him for trusting us. He signed a contract with us, but we will not stand in the way if he decides to change his mind. We respect it, wish him good luck and we wait to hear from him,” ABS CBN said.

I heard that Manny Pacquiao is already thinking of his retirement in boxing and have plans of running in Congress in 2010 Election. If everything went well with Pacquiao’s political plan, ots impossible for him to return to Kapamilya Network when it comes to his future boxing fights.

Pacquiao Returns To Kapamilya Network

As far as I remember, Pambansang Kamao, Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao used to be a kapamilya before. If my memory serves me right, his previous 2-3 boxing match were aired in GMA 7, prior to that was all aired to ABC-CBN network. Pacquiao even had shows in Kapuso Network.

I watched SNN (Showbiz News Ngayon) last night and Kris Aquino said that she talked with Jinky Pacquiao over the phone and told her that Manny had long been wanting to return to ABS-CBN. He reportedly signed a letter of intent with ABS-CBN which will cover the Hatton on May 2, 2009 match and possibly three or more fights thereafter.

UPDATE: Solar Sports Entertainment has claimed it will seek legal remedies in case of breach of contract by Pacquiao. While Pacquiao is not affected by the possibility of him being sued after Solar Sports reportedy failed to “fulfill its obligation to pay stipulated fees for the subject rights.”

Manny Pacquiao Aims For Lightweight Title

Watch out for the coming boxing match of boxing superstar Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao versus 31 year old Mexican-American David Diaz, the present WBC (World Boxing Council) lightweight champion on June 28 at Mandalay Bay Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada.

August last year, David Diaz won the boxing match against Eric Morales in defense of his title. This time, Manny Pacquiao is aiming for the WBC Lightweight title which will make him the “first Asian boxer to win four world titles in three different weight divisions”, and he will also be the First Filipino World Lightweight titlist.

Manny Pacquiao’s titles:
1st – WBC (World Boxing Council) Flyweight from Fahsan 3K Battery
2nd – IBF (International Boxing Federation) Super Bantamweight from Lehlohonolo Ledwaba
3rd – WBC (World Boxing Council) and The Ring World Super Featherweight title from Juan Manuel Marquez
4th – Pacquiao’s target: WBC Lightweight title

Taking consideration the data I gather, I guess this would be the greatest boxing match or should I say “the finale” of Pacquiao’s boxing career. Let’s just hope for the best. Go, Manny!
