Pinoys in Malaysia ready for the Pacquiao-Mattysse fight

As Pacquiao enjoys a full Filipino breakfast pre-game, Pinoys troop full force to the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpus on early Sunday morning to show support for Sentaor Manny Pacquiao as he is set to fight Argentine boxer Lucas Matthysse.

GMA reporter Ian Cruz tweeted joyous photos of the Filipino community, who came in ready with tarpaulins, Philippine flags, and headgear.

Several things make The Fight of Champions noteable: Pacquiao’s longtime coach Freddie Roach is nowhere in sight, Pacquiao is taking on the additional role of arranger via his MP Promotions, and finally, Pacquiao is coming in as challenger.

In the Philippines, we can enjoy the fight through TV coverage from networks, including GMA 7, as well as in these 8 places. — LA, GMA News
