Dan Rafael (4:12 PM)
Arum closed a deal with CBS/Showtime for the Pacquiao-Mosley fight from what two sources have told me.
lol, he just candcelled his live chat so he can chase up more info....
Great for showtime
Bad for HBO
Bob Arum is doing whats best for the fight andf his pockets. A 24/7 style show on CBS?
Wow just wow.
My question is does this put another road block in making the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight?
Pacquiao is now a showtime fighter with Floyd being with HBO.
NO MORE LARRY MERCHANT!!! hahaha Wasn't really interested in this fight but now with Showtime doing the coverage...and I am sure it will be a Fight Camp 360 Show For It...Fight Camp 360 is better then HBO 24/7 IMO
I am a little more interested in this fight now
Perfect example of black people being the most racist people on earth hands down. Top Rank has been on HBO PPV for years, in fact that last time Showtime even had a PPV was a Tyson fight I believe and if we are gonna guess whose the jew, "Ross Greenburg" who works for HBO sounds pretty jewish to me, idiot.
Sweet move. Accuse someone else of racism while being racist yourself in the process.
Well done.
What the fuk!! LOL whereever you got that load of **** from i have no idea because the highest any fighter makes in the UFC is 500,000 a fight. how does it go from that to 10 million LOL!!!
The real story is they agreed upon the Money Dana White had said himself money wasn't the issue. M-1 Fedors manager and promoter wanted anyfights with Fedor envolved to be a co promotion beteween m-1 and the UFC. Thats what he has right now with Strikeforce but the UFC refused to do that the end.
And had Fedor fought in the UFC instead of PRIDE? Lol!! You do know that 80% of the UFC's biggest stars right now all fought in pride "before" the UFC? Anderson Silva. Rampage, chuck liddell, Wanderli Silva, Shogan Rua, Minitaro Nogueiera, fuk I could go on and on. Before the UFC bought pride and all it's fighters it was the superior MMA Brand.
Fuk you really don't know anything.
BWAHAHA!!!! I just pulled your own Cotto hater routine on you and you got defensive just like a stan. I wanted nothing more than to show your ignorance, that is all. :burnout:
Um... he got offered over 10 million for 2-3 fight deal and the only way he was joining UFC is if his "manager" got 50% of the all of UFC's profits for the card. That the age old, "price yourself out duck." If it talks like one, looks like one and smells like one its a duck. Your boy is garbage if he had actually fought in the UFC he wouldn't have had that many wins in a row, I can tell you're a Floyd fan too.

i think the last ppv was vargas-mayorga on showtime.
What is the name of that showtime executive's name again?
Oh yeah, Ken Hershman..........(hershman Name Meaning and History. Jewish (Ashkenazic))
Sorry, I guess Gerald Levin (Jewish surname.) should have known that his sharing the same faith as Arum would not be enough to seal their deals.

Ugh how can he duck Brock when they don't fight for the same orginization smart guy?
And yes he did lose to a lesser fighter but so has Anderson Silva and so has GSP. Losing 1 fight in 10 years is unheard of im MMA so yeah you're stupid and know nothing about MMA.

Shouldn't you change you avatar and signature already? Fedor not only ducked Brock he got clowned by some nobody in Strikforce in case you didn't know, just sayin.

No it's speculation at this point.

As for the topic I love how people just "know" what is going on behind the scenes. Inside the NFL went to showtime so HBO lost that already, HBO also had to cut its sports budget by quite a bit these past few years and they seem to be doing more documentary crap with their budget. Could it not be possible that Showtime is simply the better network now and have a bigger budge which = more money? I mean Jesus christ guys, Top Rank got offered something by HBO and they were like thats it? If Showtime offered the SAME DEAL except simply having 24/7 on CBS I would take it too, it simply means WAY more money.
I mean jesus, HBO is already getting smashed by Showtime with shows like Dexter (which is THE SH*T BTW) they got Inside the NFL which was HUGE for HBO... One company isn't on top forever unless you are MS and now even Apple and Google are putting their spot as king in massive jeopardy. It doesn't have to be dirty, rotten, cheap, classless it is f*cking possible that Showtime simply gave them a better deal than what HBO could offer. I'm sorry but if I was at a job for 10 years and someone else wanted to offer me an extra $5 an hour to do the same thing I would take it too. Its the same thing here, not everything is a major conspiracy jesus.
HBO doesnt get owned.
HBO is a multi-billion dollar a year company.

Its HBO that owned Arum and Pacquiao.
HBO had told Arum and Pac that they will not do a 24/7 series for their cheap fight.
HBO generates Billions of dollars each year.
Pac and Arum generated "peanuts" compared to what HBO generates.
HBO dont need Arum and Pac.
Its Arum and Pac that need HBO.
Link please.
Ugh yeah you arn't familiar with exactly who watches that channel are you and when are they gonna show it? They are not a movie channel like HBO with endless blocks of time to show stuff. Im pretty sure the 24/7 is going to be on Showtime.
Yeah, this could more than likely just end up a "Fight Camp 360" on Showtime. I don't look for it to end up on CBS.
If anything, this PPV should do better because the 24/7-like series will be on CBS which everyone gets, unlike HBO.

No other fighters in Boxing can generate 1 million buys except for Pacquiao and Floyd... Marquez vs Katsidis was like 100k buys. Martinez, Williams, Berto and Breadley fights on Regular HBO PPV..
HBO gets like 50% OF THE PPV sales.. If Pac fights on other network HBO losses at least 30-50 million dollars on every Pac fight. They don't that money on any other fighters..
Haha but seriously i cant believe this
It's true, this would be great for boxing.. but seriously, NSB needs to make a greater effort to make fun of Dan's weight. It's easy and fun.
