A three-part special on the November 13 showdown between pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito will be telecast by Viva Sports over IBC 13 beginning Monday, November 8 at 8:30 p.m.
Part II will be telecast on Wednesday and Part III on Friday at the same time. The specials will also be replayed on Viva Prime over Destiny Cable on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
The special will provide insights into the training camps of both fighters, a series of interviews with trainers Freddie Roach and Robert Garcia, interviews with Pacquiao?s strength and conditioning guru Alex Ariza as well as sparring partners Michael Medina and Glen Tapia.
The special will also feature interviews in training camp with Pacquiao as preparations progressed. There will also be highlights of his training, his practice with his band in Baguio City where the music got to Top Rank promoter Bob Arum who liked the beat, got up and danced.
Part I will also briefly tackle the hand-wraps issue with special correspondent Jannelle So of Kababayan LA 18 asking Garcia about the psychological effect on Margarito.
Highlights of the Margarito battering of Miguel Cotto, his KO of Kermit Cintron and his loss to Shane Mosley will also be featured together with trainer Garcia?s own battering at the hands of Diego Corrales.
It promises to be a riveting series.
