IN AN unprecedented move, StarHub has waived the $8 it cost each boxing fan in Singapore to sign up to watch a demand-TV fight on Sunday and apologised to them.
It is 'an act of goodwill' aimed at placating fans who were livid after the telecast of the much-hyped fight between Filipino Manny Pacquiao and Puerto Rico's Miguel Cotto was interrupted in the seventh round of the 12-round bout.
Many ended up missing the decisive final rounds of the bout, which ended 55 seconds into the 12th round, when the referee stopped the fight and declared Pacquaio the winner on a technical knockout.
