Mon, 09 Nov 2009
The story of Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao’s “Journey to Glory” will be captured in a three-part special produced by Viva Sports and telecast over IBC 13 beginning today (Monday, November 9) at 8:00 p.m.
The series is a buildup to the "Fire Power" showdown between Pacquiao and WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on November 14 (Sunday, November 15 Manila Time).
The fight will be telecast by Solar Sports and GMA 7 and will be seen in scores of theaters, stadiums, restaurants and bars across the country including the Araneta Coliseum where giant screens on four sides are certain to provide clear and exciting coverage of the fights for some 18,000 fans.
The succeeding two-hour specials of "Journey to Glory" will be telecast from 8:00-10:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 11 and on Friday, November 13.
The “Journey to Glory” chronicles Pacquiao’s rise from boyhood poverty to become one of the greatest world boxing champions of all-time providing a keen insight into his courage as well as his care and concern for his poor countrymen.
Footage of some of his early fights on the weekly boxing show “Blow by Blow” where he saw action for almost seven years, his first KO loss to Rustico Torrecampo and his quick recovery to win the OPBF flyweight title followed by his WBC flyweight championship win over Thai hero Chatchai Sasakul in December 1998 and his spectacular sixth round stoppage of Lelohonolo Ledwaba in his US debut highlight the first program in the series.
