Bloody Elbow has all the details on Manny Pacquiao vs. Jeff Horn right here, including fight card, fight time, live stream info, results, and more.
For the first time in over a decade, boxing legend Manny Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 KOs) will not be headlining an HBO or Showtime pay-per-view. Instead, he’ll be competing on ESPN on Saturday, July 2nd (Sunday, July 3rd in Australia due to time zone difference) against Australia’s own Jeff Horn (16-0, 11 KOs), who is looking to cause a massive shock and win Pacquiao’s WBO welterweight (147 lbs) title. A crowd in excess of 60,000 fans will pack Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.
Our complete StoryStream: Pacquiao vs. Horn Live fight online coverage, preview, analysis
This is part of Pacquiao’s unofficial farewell tour, more or less. His days of fighting the absolute best appear to be over, but it’s still a great spectacle to watch him compete. The best news for US-based fans is that we won’t have to buy a pay-per-view, otherwise I’d be hard-pressed to find reasons for you to fork over extra money. The stadium will be packed, it’s good combat sports to watch on a rare non-UFC weekend, and Bloody Elbow will be here to provide you extensive coverage. Here’s all the details you need on tonight’s card, including how to watch it.
