Pacquiao PPV caps off big night of fighting
Originally scheduled for Saturday night, the highly-anticipated fight between Manny Pacquiao, a legendary eight-division champion and one of the greatest boxers in history, was supposed to be against Errol Spence Jr.
Nevertheless, an eye injury paved the way for Ugas, the WBA super welterweight champion and an Olympic medalist, to enter as a substitute.
Saturday’s Pacquiao fight night is not your ordinary big deal. This time, the 42-year-old boxing legend, who has also served as a Filipino senator since 2016, will face some tough competition.
The WWE SummerSlam is scheduled to occur at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, just a short distance away from the Pacquiao-Ugas fight at T-Mobile Arena. Nonetheless, WWE officials have assured that they intend to conclude the pro-wrestling event before Pacquiao and Ugas enter the ring.
