3 ways I know to watch Pacquiao Marquez 4 live

Everybody is already excited about the upcoming fight of Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez this coming December 9 (December 8 in Las Vegas, USA). I'm sure most of you can't wait to watch it live as much as possible and are looking for sites online that would provide you with a channel or a live stream video.

I have listed 3 ways I have tried and tested (except for no. 3) that would surely provide live action on your screen.

1. SopCast - This is what I use mostly and needs a bit of effort. SopCast is a downloadable software where users online can publish their videos for other users to watch. Its definitely free and needs no registration.
Just download the software on their website here.
The next step is to look for available SopCast channel that broadcast the fight. This is a bit hard and needs a bit of patience because most of this videos are illegally broadcasted and are being controlled and shut down by online admin.

I have listed some of theSopCast channels I have used previously for the Pacquiao and Bradley fight. Hopefully it will still run for the Pacquiao Marquez 4.

2. Subscribe to Cignal Pay per View (PPV) - This is a legitimate way to watch the fight and needs no effort at all. You only to need to pay 550 pesos on top of your regular monthly subscription fee to be able to watch it live and commercial free. Of course one prerequisite is to have existing Cignal account.

Check out their site here for more info. 

3. The third one is what I will be using right now to watch Pacquaio Marquez 4. I have subscribed to PPV of Destiny Cable (Global Destiny CATV which was newly acquired by Sky Cable). This is much more expensive than Cignal TV because you have to pay for one time installation of digital box worth 2000 pesos plus the PPV fee of 1000 pesos. 

Call their hotline for more information 418-0000.
