Pacquiao in a Contract Violation

The news about Manny Pacquiao's transfer to ABS-CBN disappointed both Solar Sports and GMA-7. Although GMA-7 notes that the contract for the airing of Pacquiao's fights is between the boxer and Solar Sports, they would still like to enforce their contract with the People's Champ.

In a letter acquired by PEP, GMA-7 states that Manny Pacquiao still has an existing contract with the network where it is cited that Pacquiao "shall not appear on any television program, show, promotion or event of any broadcast media entity other than GMA and its subsidiaries and affiliates without the written consent of GMA."

Oh well, he just did a couple of nights ago by announcing on TV Patrol World that he's transferring networks!

Perhaps the rumors that ABS-CBN promised Pacquiao to help him in the 2010 polls is true. I don't know about that, but if it is true, would we vote for someone who can't fulfill his contract obligations?

Just my opinion, though.
