At home, his Manny Pacquiao P2-Million International Darts Classic set on December 12 to 15 in General Santos City is getting much attention, not just for the prize involved but for the disparity of the prize-difference between the men and women’s Division.

The press release says the overall champion in the tournament’s highlight event will receive P320,000, second placer gets P150,000 while the third and fourth placers will take home P75,000 each. Fifth to eight placers will receive P35,000, ninth to 16th P10,000, 17th to 37th P3,000, and 33rd to 64th P1,000 each.
