Manny Pacquiao
Manila, Philippines - We are not sure if this decision also covers his 'showbiz career', but a surprise move was made by the people's champ in favor of ABS-CBN. Manny Pacquiao gave the rights to ABS-CBN to air his next fight in the ring. Here are the excerpts of Manny Pacquaio's exclusive taped interview in TV Patrol yesterday.

"Nagpapasalamat ako sa aking mga dating media partner pero ngayon pagkatapos kong pinag isipan mabuti, nilapitan ko po ang ABS-CBN. Napag pasyahan ko po na makipag partner muli sa kanila. Sarili ko po itong desisyon. Sa ABS-CBN, mapapanood ninyo ang laban ko kay Ricky Hatton, at ang mga susunod ko pang laban. At asahan niyo po na patuloy pa akong magbibigay ng karangalan at tagumpay po, lalong lalo na ang kasiyahan sa ating mga kababayang Pilipino at walang pagbabago ang mga laban ko pa rin po ay laban nating lahat mga Pilipino, kahit saan man sulok ng mundo. Maraming maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat na suporta. Ituloy niyo sana po at lagi niyo po sana akong ipagdasal sa mga darating ko pa pong laban lalo na this coming May 2nd. Maraming maraming salamat mga minamahal kong kababayan."

However, Solar Sports have expressed its disappointment to Manny's decision to cut short their contract with them, claiming that their contract with the boxer was still valid. Solar's legal counsel Atty. Enrique dela Cruz Jr added, "Naniniwala po ang Solar na ang kontrata nila kay Manny Pacquiao ay valid at binding pa. Hindi ito maaaring labagin ni Manny Pacquiao at ng ABS-CBN." Solar has yet to hear from Manny concerning this issue though they revealed that Manny has sent them a letter stating that he wanted to end his contract with them.
