PLDT Fibr’s role in airing Pacquiao-Rios fight

MANILA, Philippines - The People’s Champ and the world’s pound-for-pound boxing champion Manny Pacquiao has given his besieged countrymen another reason to celebrate the inspiration he gives them as he took on his latest victory with skills, intelligence and humility in the ring.

Pacquiao won by unanimous decision against Mexican-American Brandon Rios and retrieved the respect of the world as he once again showcased the trademark that is Pacquiao in the ring.

Every Filipino, as usual, became glued to their TV sets to take an hour of breather from the humdrums of their everyday lives. The rich and famous flew all the way to Macau to witness the fight right before their eyes, while the others opted to stay and just catch the event in the myriad of live streaming options available to the public.

One such popular option was brought to them right at the comfort of their homes via Fibr’s Cignal Digital TV service. The fight was streamed seamlessly live from Macau and Fibr subscribers got the front rows at their homes without any glitches.
