Instead of concert, Pacquiao to party with fans in Hawaii

The Manny Pacquiao Hawaii Concert Celebration has been cancelled, but this won't stop the Philippines' singer-boxing champion from partying in Hawaii.

Pacquiao's fans will still have the chance to party with the 7-division champion on March 19 in a venue to be set by Island Fire Production, the same outfit which organized the concert.

The organizers will still require party-goers to secure tickets, which will be available a day before the event.

Pacquiao will also have a separate meet-and-greet autograph signing event in Hawaii on March 21.

Last March 13, Pacquiao defended his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title against Ghana's Joshua Clottey.

Ryan Chang of Island Fire Production confirmed to ABS-CBN News they had to cancel the concert on March 21 at Waikiki Shell due to poor ticket sales.

Chang said only 600 tickets were sold in a venue that had a capacity of 8,500. To break even, they needed sales of 2,500 tickets.

Each ticket costs US$25 to $150 dollars.

Chang said they have started fully refunding those who bought tickets. Tickets can be refunded at the place where they were sold.
