THERE was a far superior offer but it was shot down even before it got off the ground.

Phillip Ella Juico, a former member of the IBC-13 board, yesterday said the PBA's financial problems with NBN-4 could have been avoided if only an initial offer by IBC was considered.

Juico said IBC had initially tapped Solar Sports as its partner before NBN-4 stepped in and eventually controlled the PBA's television coverage.

"It was a better offer. Solar Sports promised advanced payment and a corresponding letter of credit from a credible bank to pay the rest of the arrears," Juico told the Inquirer.

Juico said the deal was supposed to be a co-production between the two television organizations with Solar Sports tasked to market the PBA and IBC to provide the airtime.
