SMART CLARK GIGA CITY – The PBA Philippines Cup fight between Rain or Shine and Barangay Geneva has just recorded the highest number of live streaming viewers registered in the league bubble.
The thrilling game that went into overtime recorded a total of 177.8 thousand viewers on ONE Sports’ Facebook Live which aired Tuesday night and was won by Elasto Painters, 85-82.
