MANILA -- Three major broadcast companies set aside rivalry for the moment to air for free the much-anticipated fight of Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao against American rival Floyd Mayweather Jr.
In a press conference on Thursday, Solar Entertainment's Wilson Tieng said that ABS-CBN, GMA and TV5 will air the boxing match, dubbed as "Battle for Greatness," on May 3 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Tieng said Pacquiao played a big role in uniting the three stations. The Solar executive added it took them two weeks to iron out details of the deal, which pushed GMA to give up exclusive coverage of the fight.
