ABS-CBN Corporation, the premiere media and entertainment company in the Philippines, recently signed a deal with ALV Talent Circuit Inc. headed by Arnold L. Vegafria, the official business manager of eight-division Filipino world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao, which officially granted the network the pay TV rights to broadcast the highly-anticipated "Battle of Brisbane" event on July 2, 2017.
Sadly, ABS-CBN's rival network still holds the rights of bringing the fight to free TV. But, it is without question that the true number one television station in the Philippines has the resources and the technology to deliver a world-class sporting event to Filipino audiences beyond television.
Anyway, the anticipated fight between eight-division Filipino world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao and Australian boxer Jeff Horn for the WBO Welterweight Championship which is dubbed as "Battle of Brisbane" is exclusively available on PPV for Skycable, Sky Direct, and Cignal Digital TV subscribers with no commercial interruptions for only Php950. For more details on the PPV, visit the official websites of Sky and Cignal.
