Capiceños gird for live Pacquiao-Hatton fight
ROXAS CITY –The city government under the administration of Mayor Vicente Bermejo and the provincial capitol under Gov. Victor Tanco, Sr. will simultaneously bring live to the Capiceños the much-awaited Manny Pacquiao-Ricky Hatton boxing bout on Sunday at Dinggoy Roxas Civic Center and Capiz Gym at Villareal Stadium, respectively.
Provincial capitol had shown the previous fights of Pacquiao live from Las Vegas, USA at the Capiz Gym.
The capitol brought the live show through Solar Sports by using the Filvision Alto Cable Television.
Mr. Rey Cordenillo told The News Today (TNT) that the city government will augment the live showing of the province by putting its own big screen at the Dinggoy Roxas Civic Center on Sunday.
“We are helping the provincial government as we do our share in bringing the Pacquiao-Hatton boxing fight live to our constituents,” Cordenillo said.
He added that the Capiz Gym at Villareal Stadium is always full of spectators during the boxing fight where the provincial government have to put many televisions outside the gym to extend their venue to accommodate them.
He said that the city government will also shell out some P70,000 to pay the live show for the city residents.
