Pacquiao vs. Ugas: The Legend vs. The Olympian' set for GMA broadcast


The change in opponents will not alter GMA's plans to show Manny Pacquiao's upcoming fight in Las Vegas.

All things remain as scheduled for the Senator's showdown against current WBA welterweight champion Yordenis Ugas, after the latter stepped up to replace Errol Spence Jr. The American had to bow out due to a detached retina.

GMA Network, is still set to show the free TV broadcast of the boxing event on Sunday, August 22, in partnership with TAP Digital Media Ventures Corp, at 11am, with a same-day replay at 1030pm. Those who prefer a live blow-by-blow coverage can head on to GMA's flagship AM radio station Super Radyo DZBB 594 and its sister stations nationwide starting at 9am.

The Cuban is set to defend the title for the first time after defeating Abel Ramos last year. This is the same title Pacquiao claimed in defeating Keith Thurman in his last fight back in 2019. Ugas had been set to face Fabian Maidana as part of the undercard for Pacquiao-Spence before all the changes were made.
