Manny Pacquiao, one of the biggest stars in boxing history, is coming to ESPN.
The Filipino legend's welterweight world title defense against Jeff Horn, along with the rest of the card, will air live on ESPN beginning at 9 p.m. ET on July 1 from Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia, after promoter Top Rank and the network made a deal.
It will be the first time that a Pacquiao fight will air live on basic cable and is his first non-pay-per-view fight since he knocked out Hector Velazquez on HBO in September 2005.
"Working with Top Rank on a match normally seen on pay-per-view is a significant moment for ESPN and for boxing fans," ESPN president John Skipper said. "This fight, along with ESPN's in-depth programming surrounding the fight, joins Wimbledon, Home Run Derby and the ESPYS in a stellar early July programming lineup."
The fight, being tabbed “The Battle of Brisbane,” is slated for July 1 at 9 p.m. ET in a 3 ½-hour telecast that will also air on ESPN Deportes. The 14-hour time difference in Brisbane allows for a prime-time telecast in the US. Joe Tessitore, Teddy Atlas, and Timothy Bradley Jr., will call the fight as broadcasters ringside.
Top Rank chairman Bob Arum expressed excitement in bringing boxing back to ESPN, where it was a staple in the 1980s and ‘90s, saying it would be “an incredible event.” ESPN president John Skipper said scoring a “match normally seen on pay-per-view is a significant moment for ESPN and for boxing fans.”
Pacquiao (59-6-2, 38 KOs) is a 38-year-old sitting senator in the Philippines who regained the welterweight world title belt he lost to Floyd Mayweather when he defeated Jessie Vargas in November.
Brisbane’s Horn (16-0-1, 11 KOs), was a 2012 Australian Olympian and will help draw a ginormous Australian crowd at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium, with 50,000 tickets already sold and an expected increase in available seating by 60,000.
In the middleweight fight on the card, Shane Mosley Jr. (10-1, 7 KOs) takes on Australia’s David Toussaint (10-0, 8 KOs) in an eight-round fight. The main card will begin at 10 p.m. with 2016 Irish Olympic star Michael Conlan (2-0, 2 KOs), clashing with Jarrett Owen (5-4-3, 2 KOs) of Brisbane, in a six-round featherweight fight.
In the junior bantamweight, Filipino fighter Jerwin Ancajas (26-1-1, 17 KOs), the first world titleholder promoted by Pacquiao's MP Promotions, will make his second defense of his 115-pound crown against Teiru Kinoshita (25-1-1, 8 KOs), the mandatory challenger from Japan, in the co-feature, right before Pacquiao-Horn.
