MANILA, Philippines ? Manila residents can watch live on Sunday boxing champ Manny Pacquiao?s fight against Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto as a giant screen will each be installed in a selected area in the city?s six districts.

The giant viewing screens will be set up at Tondo Sports Complex in District 1, Sentro ng Malikhaing Manileño (formerly Patricia Sports Complex) in District 2, Rasac Covered Court in District 3, Arturo Tolentino Sports Complex (formerly Dapitan Sports Complex) in District 4, San Andres Sports and Civic Center in District 5 and Teresa Covered Court in District 6.

The city government said the six viewing centers can admit a total of 20,000 people.

Mayor Alfredo Lim, meanwhile, said he has tasked his chief of staff Ric de Guzman and city administrator Jesus Mari Marzan to take charge of the distribution of admission tickets.

He added that only those with tickets would be admitted to the viewing centers which would open their gates as early as 8 a.m. Should there be seats left, people without tickets would also be allowed to enter, Lim said.

Marshals, he added, would be assigned to man the entrance gates of the viewing centers to ensure that there would be no overcrowding, shoving or chaos.

Lim said the free showing of the Pacquiao-Cotto fight was meant to accommodate Manila?s poor residents who could not afford expensive tickets.

?We want to give them access so they would be able to watch the event live as it happens in Las Vegas,? he said.
