Chavez Jr. vs. Zbik possible for CBS? Cintron to Top Rank?

WTF? I thought Steve Kim was joking at first, but apparently he wasn't... Arum says that Chavez Jr-Zbik could take place in Mid-East and they r attempting to make that on CBS, should that happen Arum also said one of the Fight Camp 360 shows for Pac-Mosley will be a one hour edition on primetime on CBS Why Chavez Jr for possibly CBS? He did a much higher rating this weekend than HBO and well, he's a Chavez Remember programmers aren't necessarily looking for the best boxers but highest ratings and sponsors. Which is why it might be Jr. Also it looks like Kermit Cintron could be going to Top Rank

Why Chavez Jr. Well, he draws good ratings( this past weekend’s bout on Fox Sports Espanol, was one of their most viewed events ever), From S.Kim...

This is just what Arum is doing, he's gonna milk Cotto in June in a worthless Margarito rematch and then possibly feed him to Pacquiao again, then we'll see (unfortunately a shot) Cotto vs Chavez Jr. and people will praise him. I am glad at the very least that the writer mentioned that the people exposed to the national audience aren't the best boxers. Y'all heard it right here: Chavez Jr will avoid Martinez until he looks weak and will NEVER fight Lemeiux. Chavez deez nuts. he will avoid canelo as well.

Maybe for a Cotto tuneup and to send Jr back to Mexico fighting journeymen I guess it might be fun. exactly. worse case scenario, we get to see Jr get his ass kicked. winning situation. the whole Mexico vs PR bs will likely cause a stir as well.

Why would anyone want to see that? Jr is a cabdriver and Cotto is a world class fighter. Hey Cotto can finally get rid of the Chavez hype

Then everyone will think Jr is the real MW champ since this will be exposed to a national audience, this sham is all coming together:rofl: Then Cotto vs Chavez will be a bigger event
