Looks like GBP is making a push for networks while Top Rank is pushing for overseas

That's an impressive deal, particularly that it's on Monday night.

The only thing is that it's too early to judge how big FFS1 will be. I'd still liek to see GB putting some more fights on CBS. Will be interesting to see how ratings fluctuate in Primetime on Monday. It's something HBO and Showtime haven't had the decency to do.
