Pinagmalaki pa niya na hindi siya binitawan ni ABS-CBN Sports correspondent Dyan Castillejo nung una siyang natalo kay Erik Morales.
And what does Pacquiao do in return? He leaves ABS-CBN for GMA-7 and Solar Sports' offer of 80 million pesos for his fight against Jorge Solis.
Their combined greed was very evident during the telecast of his fight against Marco Antonio Barrera. Puro commercial breaks! Halatang gusto nilang mabawi yung pagkalaki-laking talent fee na binayad nila kay Manny by allocating all available airtime for sponsors. In contrast, ABS-CBN could never raise that amount without violating the KBP's imposed limit on commercial airtime loads, which is why GMA-7 very conveniently opted to break away from the KBP.
