Solar Sports Channel will fight for its right to air Pacquiao-Hatton match
Solar Sports Channel (Philippines) have expressed its disappointment to Manny Pacquiao’s decision to cut short their contract with them by signing up with ABS-CBN.
Solar reiterated that the company’s four-year contract with Pacquiao’s MP Promotions remains “in full force and in effect until May 6, 2011″ and that the company will fight for its rights.
“Naniniwala po ang Solar na ang kontrata nila kay Manny Pacquiao ay legal and binding. Valid pa ito. Hindi ito maaaring labagin ni Manny Pacquiao o ng ABS-CBN.” Solar legal counsel Enrique dela Cruz, Jr. said.
Under the Pacquiao-Solar contract, Solar enjoys the right to decide which television network it wishes to air Pacman’s fights.
GMA-7, the TV network chosen by Solar for the coverage of Pacquiao’s “Battle of East and West” fight with Hatton, has yet to issue a statement on the said issue.

Ganito na ba sa Philippines, kahit may existing contract kahit d pa expired at may nagoffer sa iyo ng malaki bigla kang kakalas, kaya marami ng walang tiwala sa mga Pilipino, local o foreign investor kung ganyan ang attitude natin.At ung nagooffer o gumagamit ng pera para makuha nila ang gusto nila kahit alam nilang may existing contract pa ung tao sa iba wala clang pakialam.. POOR PHILIPPINES!!

yup you got that right. manny may have realized how inferior the tandem of solar-agb-gme is compared to the world-recognized, CNN & BBC affiliated network ABS CBN.
March 19th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
umiiyak ata ung boss ng solar at gme kasi mawawalan sila ng pera. masyado kasi silang gahaman sa kita. pinaglaruan lng nila si pacman
March 19th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
Haaay naku! Ewan ko ba! Si Manny Pacquiao pa nga mismo ang nagsabi na sa ABS-CBN Ipapalabas ang laban niya kay Hatton kaya dapat lang i-respect ng solar sports at gma ang decision ni Pacquiao! Haaay naku! Sino bang lalaban? Di ba si Pavquiao! Kaya si Manny ang dapat tanungin kung saan ipapalabas ang laban niya!
GO MANNY PACQUIAO!
MORE POWERS ABS-CBN!
BOOO! GMA! WHATEVER! SUCH A LOOSER MGA KAPUSO!
SAME 2 SOLAR SPORTS! HMMM! MAKA-ALIS NA NGA!~!!!

Hay naku Solar, magsitigil kayo. E kasalanan nyo naman pala kung bakit tinapos na ni pacman ang kontrata sa inyo dahil hindi nyo tinutupad ang obligasyon nyo. Hindi nyo nabayaran si Manny ng tama. May partial payment delayed na masyado. Ngayon nagrereklamo kayo kay Manny. Gusto nyo lang kumita pero kapag bayaran na ang pag-uusapan binibitin nyo…
March 19th, 2009 at 8:55 pm
eh sa gusto ni pacman sa dos anong magawa ng solar sports dba… kung may kontrata pa si pacman sa solar makikita naman yun pagdating ng araw…. aayusin yan nila in sa legal na paraan….

“”"Beth Celis column in the Philippine Daily Inquirer last March 18, 2009, which revealed, “The network (ABS-CBN) is said to have offered Manny full media support in the next election to ensure victory in the next year’s congressional elections.” “”
kawawang manny, sinira ang pangalan dahil lang sa offer ng abs-cbn…
money + congressional seat = manny pacquiao
galing talaga ng abs..

most comments here indicate that they know nothing about contracts. that’s why they’re easily fooled. manny was probably assured by abscbn that he could terminate his contract with solar earlier as agreed that’s why he said yes to abscbn.
if it’s true that solar was delayed in their payments, then abscbn was thinking that manny could use this as his way out of his solar contract—with abscbn backing him to the fullest. but the way manny terminated his contract with solar smacks of irresponsibility and disrespect—the way abscbn usually pirates and negotiates with personalities in showbiz & in sports.

For now let Manny be… this issues with Solar and GMA will be resolve in time… if indeed Manny violated an existing contract is something best left to his legal team. For nor lets support Money, este Manny :P

mayaman na mukhang pera pa rin nyahaha
March 20th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
matalo ka sana!!! hambong!!!!
March 20th, 2009 at 11:12 pm
guys wag kayo mag-away dahil dito.. Kung anung gusto ni Manny bahala sya.. Sya naman yan eh.. tsaka tayo support lang.. manonood pa rin naman tayo nyan eh kahit paikot-ikutin nyo pa ang sitwasyon..
Nabigla nga ako nun eh.. napanood namin sa Tv patrol pero ok lang.. kasi di naman ako nanonood tlga sa GMA kasi naka-cable kami kaya Solar ang pinapanood namin nun..
Well to Solar, intindihin nyo nalng si MAnny, total kumita naman kayo ng malaki eh…
Tsaka di magmo-move si MAnny kung wla syang laban di ba? i think sa legal team ni Manny alam nila ginagawa nila…
Pero nagtaka lang ako dahil may show dw si Manny sa GMA eh.. so panu yun? Kapuso pa rin sya? pero sa laban nya Kapamilya siya.. Kung sabagay nga naman mas madami nanonood nung nasa ABS ang laban ni Pacman di ba?
Di nga lang Metro Manila lang.. kasi mdami nagsabi ki Manny bkit sa GMA? sikat lang naman yun sa Metro Manila di ba? hehehe kaya yung nanay nya tuwang tuwa… hehehehe
Well just respect what he wanted to do.. Kung sa Contract namn bayaran nalang kung sino ang dapat bayaran dyan..
Pero sabi naman ng ABS-CBN sa laban lng naman sila di ba? sabagay di naman GMA ang me hawak ng laban ni Manny kundi ang Top Rank…
Sorry man Wilma ahh.. sorry tlga… di ko kasi naramdaman ang puso ng mga Kapuso ehh… hehehehehehe

@ iska! ikaw yata ang walang alam sa contract anoh?kasi hindi naman si manny lalabas sa mga shows ng abs cbn,purely boxing lang kasi abs cbn ang kinuha niyang media partner.gets mo?yong contract niya sa gme hindi iyon kasali sa boxing nya,anyway hindi pa siya pwede magkaroon ng show sa kapamilya kasi nga hindi pa tapos contract sa gme.only the hatton ang manny fight ang pwede kasi hindi iyon kasali sa contrata niya……. .clear?
March 22nd, 2009 at 5:25 am
tiger (or mas maganda siguro pusa),
paumanhin kung di mo naintindihan yung sinulat ko sa ingles. wala naman akong binanggit tungkol sa paglabas nya sa mga shows sa abscbn. wala rin akong sinabi tungkol sa contract nya sa gma dahil di naman yun ang issue, kaya nga sa unang post ko di ko binanggit man lang ang gma. it’s pacquiao-solar-abscbn dahil yung contract ni pacquiao sa solar ang tinamaan. ok gets mo na, pusa?
siguro sa ngayon nabalitaan mo na biglang baligtad na naman si manny. dali kasing utuin. ginawa na nya yan sa golden boy promotions dati. hay, di nalang kasi boksing intindihin, pati politics lalaban. so pusa, tama na ang ngyaw-ngyaw mo.
March 22nd, 2009 at 7:52 am
i respect manny decision it’s his right,but sayang we can’t watch his fight TFC kami,but anyway go go go go manny we’re proud of you! just dont mind some people here they’re just bitter,GOD BLESS U AND TO UR FAMILY .
March 22nd, 2009 at 12:47 pm
tarantalo pala karamihan sa tao dito nag sign kanang contract tapos bigla kang kakalas na wlang dahilan.. dapat kabang intindihin? boboyug dapat nga kulungan papunta ang career nya…
March 23rd, 2009 at 2:45 am

March 23rd, 2009 at 6:48 am
by the way “manny’s next fight will still be aired on gma7″ is a FACT!!! sayang k manny, ang baho mo na tuloy dahil sa mga pinaggagawa mo.. hahahayz.. he just proved that stupidity exists.. by the way, got that news from “UNANG HIRIT!”
March 25th, 2009 at 12:17 am
pagsabihan nyo naman c manny, it seems he didn’t know what he’s signing.
March 26th, 2009 at 11:37 am
kung totoo man na nag ofer ang ABS kay pacman ng full support sa election, cguro ang babaw ni pacman, kc umalis c packman sa abs dahil sa tira sa kanya ng mga reporter last election… kahit ba nman mag offer ang iba kung may panindigan ka sa iyong sarili?… kc ang mga tao sa mindanao ayaw kay pacman na maging congressman kaya kahit anong sikat niya ndi xia mananalo… kc hndi lahat ganon ka kitid ang ulo… sna mag gcing siya… at wag magpa gamit….
