Pacquiao vs. Margarito Will be Telecast on GMA 7 Philippines
October 31, 2010
That's right! GMA 7 a popular TV channel in the Philippines will be covering the fight of Manny Pacquiao against Antonio Margarito on November 14, 2010 (Philippines time). The known "KAPUSO" channel will feature the delayed telecast of the highly anticipated Pacquiao vs. Margarito WBC Super Welterweight championship match direct from the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, USA. This only mean that Filipinos that can't watch the fight live via any means can witness the event in that television channel.
Personally, I like ABS-CBN Kapamilya to cover the fight instead of GMA. Not because I am a die hard fan of the shows of ABS but I just like how the other channel to cover the fight specially with local Filipino boxing analysts that is on the background which usually accompanied by Dyan Castillejo, a sports TV anchor of ABS-CBN. However, GMA covers boxing events in full high quality video in our place because of high reception of the channel so the quality would be nice but the pain is the advertisements that are shown every single round of the event. This is the reason why sometimes the fight takes up to afternoon (late PM) because of the long period of ads. Imagine the coverage takes the break every round or even right after one national anthem from each boxers.
Me, I will watch Pacquiao vs. Margarito live then I will watch the replay from GMA again to see some part of the fight that I miss which I usually do.
