    PBA commissioner Willie Marcial and Dioceldo Sy spoke on Tuesday to clear the air over controversial statements made by the Blackwater owner last week.

    Marcial and Sy talked via Zoom days after the Blackwater owner announced that he was putting his PBA franchise up for sale, in frustration over the threat of sanctions for a breach in league protocols by his team.

    However, PBA commissioner had little to reveal on what was discussed in the virtual conference.

    “Sinabi ko sa kanya na may ibibigay kaming letter sa kanya. Siguro sasagutin niya ako within this week,” said Marcial, who declined to elaborate further on what transpired in the meeting.

    In an online interview, Sy mentioned in passing that Blackwater has started conducting practices without clearance from the league and the government's Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF).

    After the PBA as well as Games and Amusement Board (GAB) threatened sanctions against the Elite for the unsanctioned workout, Sy said he plans to sell his franchise for P150 million, adding that he had 'enough of the PBA.'

      The PBA later fined Blackwater P100,000 and ordered its players to undergo swab tests and a seven-day quarantine. In addition, the PBA said it will conduct a separate probe into Sy’s statements.

      Sy had previously met with GAB chief Abraham Mitra on Tuesday.
