Viva Sports was there every step of the way on Manny Pacquiao?s final day in Manila last Monday prior to leaving for Los Angeles and a press conference with
WBC lightweight champion David Diaz on Tuesday in LA.
Fight fans in general and ?Pacman? fans in particular will get a chance to see Pacquiao work out at the new Gerry Penalosa Gym at the Market Mall in Mandaluyong City including a furious session on the punch-mitts with trainer Buboy Fernandez.
The feature also shows Pacquiao playing chess and having fun with his former business manager Rod Nazario during dinner at the Century Park Hotel and includes interviews with Pacquiao?s charming wife Jinkee, trainer Fernandez and Penalosa.
The featured main event is an exciting battle between former Philippine flyweight champion Federico Catubay and tough Brix Bomb Ray.
The top-rated weekly boxing program over IBC 13 at 9:00 p.m. on Sundays is sponsored by Tanduay, the No.1 Rhum and Pagcor, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation.
