HBO debuts the first episode of 24/7 “Pacquiao vs. Margarito” tonight Saturday October 23 on HBO and a Free online replay after the show airs on HBO.com and HBO’s YouTube channel.
The first episode follows Filipino boxing icon and new Filipino congressman, Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao as he trains in the Philippines and takes care of his congressional duties at the same time. The camera crew will also follow his opponent “The Tijuana Tornado” Antonio Margarito, who was given a license in the state of Texas after being rejected twice by the California athletic commission because they didn’t feel that Margarito deserved a chance to fight after his suspension for getting caught with illegal handwraps prior to his 2009 bout with Shane Mosley, a fight he lost by stoppage. The two fighters will square off at the Dallas Cowboys stadium on November 13, 2010.
