Actually it means a lot. If they do the "All access" thing on CBS you can expect a lot of casual and even non boxing fans will be reached. Remember what the 24/7 series did for the Floyd/DLH fight. Those series might be getting old for us boxing fans who will watch the fight anyway but the reach of CBS/Showtime is a big thing. All they needed was someone who could maximize its potential and who better than Floyd.
Expect the "Money" alter ego to be at full force from now on. This is actually quite a big thing for the sport if he can manage to stay around for at least 3 of the proposed 6 fights.
