Blow-By-Blow was revived by eight-division legend Manny Pacquiao, the program’s most distinguished product, in November 2022.
The only regular boxing program on primetime TV, Blow-By-Blow has featured ring talents from all over and is again showcasing another batch of ambitious aspirants Saturday.
“Our boxing show continues to flourish,” Pacquiao said after going through the 15-fight card.
