Boxing Wins With Pacquiao-Mosley on Showtime/CBS

kinda iffy on this. this isnt the ideal fight boxing fans would want to present to the public, but its a start,i guess...i doubt the series will be as good as hbo's 24/7. plus people will see they gotta pay for this fight at the end, not sure if itll exactly 'create' new fans. honestly, i just hope the fight is interesting......

Since the very first 24-7 came out I have been saying that they should show an edited version on a local network like NBC, ABC, or CBS to get more exposure. Glad that they finally listened.

How did the StrikeForce fights work out? http://images.tvrage.com/shows/6/5694.jpg http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2005/02/15/business/15contender.600.jpg Great comparison you moron Personally I don't think having a 24/7 on network TV means that much if you are still paying for the PPV. It smells of desperation to me, Arum knows how bad the backlash for this fight is. Did you even read the OP? This. :beerchug: It should at the very least introduce new fans to the sport, and the fight should be enough to keep them around long term. This fight should be more competitive than the Marg fight, and even that was entertaining for a 12 round domination. I can't imagine this being good for boxing if this was Floyd/Shane, this isn't a knock on Floyd I respect the hell out of his style but its simply not that fan friendly. indeed, totally. :dance:

not the best ever choice of a fight I would like to see advertised on national television...but at least its pretty much guarenteed to be exciting. Although I imagine Pac will steamroll the very past prime Mosley, it would be pretty nuts to imagine Pac getting rocked in this fight...not out of the question.

most people don't seem to have showtime so how will most of those people watch the fight camp? It will be televised on CBS

Yeah boxing wins with this one. A bunch of casual fans would most likely pay to see this & may be hooked when they see a one sided beatdown courtesy of Manny Pacquiao.

Dont you bunch of morons see the good side of this? 24/7 on CBS, that means boxing gets to be mainstream again. CBS can promote this in ways HBO cant even dream of. I mean comercials, promotion on their shows a 24/7-Fight Camp 360 type special,ect,ect,ect The fight itself might not be all that for us harcore fans but will bring a bunch of fans back to the sport and maybe boxing becomes mainstream again, more exponsors,ect,ect Plus it will a action packed fight even if it is a one side beatdown. The new viewers will not get bored, watching a Calderon vs Iribe or a Mayweather-Baldomir type fight.

boxing has needed to be back on network tv for a long time yeah it sure did. but not pac-shane fight lol

boxing has needed to be back on network tv for a long time i remember when a lot of big fighters were on national tv, on networks like abc etc. those were good times. the problem is, times have changed and with the creation of cable television, many netwoks have realized that boxing and other combat sports are just better relegated to those areas where they wont face fines and potential law suits from the fcc. so i dont see boxing coming back to national tv, and if it does, dont expect the inside access and the quality of fights/commentary that we are used to from hbo/showtime. think espn and msg but possibly worse.

i think this should be tempered somewhat. a lot of it depends on the quality of the advertising done and what they are forced to compromise for the 24/7 like series. if ppl dont find it interesting, then it can definitely backfire. i just cant watch national tv. besides the sitcoms, the quality of the shows pale in comparison to hbo and even showtime (dexter is the best show out). so to me, it all depends on what the series comes out looking like. but then again, i dont think it'll be geared to us. we are already sold on boxing so who knows... Thats a very good assesment too, green K
