Free bleachers seats for Pacquiao’s last PBA game before Mayweather fight
MANILA, Philippines – The PBA opened the gallery section of the San Juan Arena on Saturday for the match between Blackwater and Kia to fans who want to watch for free as a fitting on sendoff for boxing champion Manny Pacquiao.
PBA media bureau Chief Willie Marcial said the seats will be on a first-come, first-served basis since the upper section of the venue can only accommodate around 2,000 people.
Kia playing-coach Pacquiao is expected to suit up before leaving later in the night to continue his training in the US for his megafight with pound-for-pound fighter Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 2.
