Manny Pacquiao vs Yordenis Ugas live stream: how to watch online, fight card

The Manny Pacquiao vs Yordenis Ugas live stream set for today (Saturday, August 21) wasn't exactly supposed to happen. An eye injury took Errol Spence Jr. out of competition, and his welterweight fight night dreams of taking on Manny Pacquiao were delayed. 

And because of that torn retina, Yordenis Ugas (a +280 underdog to Pacquiao's -360 favorite), is entering the main event. 

What's most exciting for this fight is that Pacquiao is fighting for a title he never lost: the WBA (Super) Welterweight championship. Pacquiao was stripped of the title due to inactivity. But don't look past the current champ: this isn't the first time Ugas has been a last-second replacement for a big fight. 

In April 2017, Ugas replaced Mario Barrios to take on Nelson Lara, who he dispatched in the second round with a TKO from a right to the temple. Ugas again fought as a late-replacement in August 2017, to fill in for Shawn Porter against Thomas Dulorme (who he beat by unanimous decision).

So, while Pacquiao is the favorite, Ugas is in his zone in these moments. Coming into fill a spot at the last second is his game. Could Ugas somehow pull off the upset, because Pacquiao hasn't been training for him? Only time will tell.

The Pacquiao-Ugas fight is expected to start at around 12.30 a.m. ET on Sunday morning, with a full undercard beneath it including the veterans Robert Guerrero and Victor Ortiz directly before.

Manny Pacquiao vs Yordenis Ugas live streams in the Philippines

Those watching in Pacquiao's home country of the Philippines have three options, including CNN on free TV channel 9. CNN is also available on Cignal channel 10 and Sky Cable channel 14.

Curiously, CNN Philippines' front page has a "live stream" box that works right now. It's unclear if this stream will also offer the fight live for those outside of the Philippines. 

CNN notes that "the fight will also be shown" on GMA7 and TV5 before saying that fans "can pay to watch the live stream on Upstream.PH and GMovies." Which makes it sound like GMA7 and TV5 will also give out live streams. At this moment, we can't find the live streams on either GMA7 or TV5.
