An online gaming platform certified by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation on Wednesday announced its collaboration with the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).
747 Live, which boasts over a million registered users, said the partnership with the MPBL is meant to fuel Filipinos’ passion for basketball, calling their collaboration ‘a natural fit’.
The partnership was sealed on Wednesday in a media launch attended by key figures from the global online gaming bookmaker and the country’s premier regional league.
Henceforth, the tournament, which began with 30 teams and is now down to 16, will be known as “742.live presents Manny Pacquiao’s 2025 Playoffs and Finals”.
Boxing icon and MPBL founder and president Manny Pacquiao signed the agreement with 747.live Chief Executive Officer Enrico Menghini.
“I am glad that 747.live has seen the MPBL as an emerging local gaming market, said Pacquiao. “This could usher in a long partnership as we share the same vision of transparency, expansion and innovation.”
“For 747 Live, this partnership represents an exciting opportunity to connect with local audiences on a larger scale, celebrating the Filipino spirit of competition, teamwork, and sportsmanship,” said Menghini. “747 Live looks forward to a long-term partnership with MPBL, continuing to grow side by side and deliver world-class entertainment for Filipino fans everywhere.”
Also present were MPBL Commissioner Kenneth Duremdes, CEO Joe Ramos and Chief Legal Counsel Atty. Glenn Gacal.
747 Live promotes responsible gaming on a wide array of casino and online games, sporting events, esports, leagues and tournaments worldwide.
App users can view the MPBL players’ stats, odds, handicaps, totals and game results, and take their chances.
“It’s a good partnership with 747 Live. Hopefully, this would be a long and productive partnership,” said Duremdes.
Not only for financial gain, 747 Live assures gamers of efficient customer support, including fast payment methods.
