The situation has gotten to the point Time Warner Cable are ready to pull CBS from its subscribers, which has never been done. CBS/Showtime has gained substantial ground in the viewership marketshare on HBO, and like I stated in the previous post the Mayweather deal is in place to enhance Showtimes growth in viewership, so unlike so of the kids you refer to as posters on this site, us adults know that this boxing situation is a small piece of a larger ongoing sags between two media conglomerates.

        I agree. Alot of people on this site are under the wrong impression that CBS is bigger than Time Warner

        CBS - worth 30 billion

        Time Warner (TWX) 58.5 billion

        I was watching David Letterman today and during the show and during every commercial, they were begging customers to call Time Warner so they wouldn't drop CBS. It was pathetic.

        Fact is, CBS needs Time Warner, not the other way around.

        And if Floyd-Canelo doesn't break even for the year. It'll be his last fight and Espinosa gets fired.

          Posting history? What are you good for then, I though you had it all processed and would give us a quick lesson. Seems like you're not convinced by his arguments then. I bet mine are more convincing, shall we try?

            I'm not so sure about CBS NEEDING Time Warner, because there are a multitude of cable and Satilite companies still providing service. The issue is if TIme Warner really wants the back lash that will come with taking away a customers premium channel or local channel due to a conflict of interest. Time Warner Cable has been losing customers before the CBS beef, so it's not like their in a real position of strength.

            Also putting Paquiao on the cover of Time magazine couldn't even prevent their magazine from going out of print distribution. So there's a lot of layers to this situation.

                Do you actually think that after all of the posting that you do, that you should be taken serious when discussing something like this? All you want is attention, to get a few Floyd disses in, and then go back to Pac's Twitter page.
