Filipino boxing legend Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is lacing up his gloves once again for another shot at WBC world welterweight glory – and TV5 and RPTV are in Pacquiao’s corner as they bring every round of this epic title clash to every home via free TV!

After a four-year break from the pro boxing scene and his last bout against Yordenis Ugás in 2021, the Philippines’ boxing pride returns to the ring to prove that he still has the fire and power to dominate the fight – this time against Father Time and against all odds.
