RETIRED former PBA star Marc Pingris was mostly known for his work ethic and no-nonsense play.
He has vowed to bring toughness and discipline as commissioner of the newly formed pro league Pilipinas Super League.
“May napanood nga ako dati sa liga ni boss Rocky (Chan, one of the founders of the PSL) sa ganyan, at sabi ko, parang hindi puwede sa akin iyon. Talagang ang nangyayari kasi is, palagi na lang… Parang, imbestigahan, imbestigahan,” Pingris said in a recent online Philippine Sportswriters Association forum.
“Sa akin, kapag may nahuli man ako dito, ipapakulong ko talaga at talagang tutuluyan ko iyong mga naghahari-harian na mga ganito, dahil sinsira nila iyong ano, hindi lang iyong pangalan nila, kung hindi pati iyong liga,” he added.
Pingris was referring to the game-fixing controversy that tarnished the credibility of the Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup last year, another pro league where one of the founders of the PSL, Rocky Chan, used to work.
Two squads — Siquijor and ARQ Builders-Lapu Lapu City — figured in a mockery of a match in the Visayas leg at the Alcantara Civic Center in Cebu.
