Is Pacquiao vs. Marquez going to be HBO or Showtime fight?

see pac-marquez 1 and 2 replays on tnt/tbs? see pac go on conan and lopez show? if the fight happens during nba season , pac can go talk to charles , ernie and kenny? pac-marquez 3 commercials during nba games? don't know if it's ever been brought up but that's the only way hbo can compete with showtime/cbs. use their sister networks. it's not network tv but everyone has cable nowadays anyway. tnt/tbs has a bigger audience than hbo since it's not a premium cable channel. plus don't forget sports illustrated and cnn are also time warner like hbo. they could be involved as well. who knows? All of the ideas are sick man and imagine Pacquiao doing a skit with Charles Barkley similar to the one he did with Norm McDonald that would be some funny ****. http://www.badlefthook.com/2011/5/4/2153637/pacquiao-vs-mosley-odds-norm-macdonald-sports-show-boxing-betting

i hope it will HBO PPV.

yeah it were't that good compare to the other channels but it still reached 4 million views according to the article I read in Yahoo. i think that's for all 4 shows combined. say 1 million each episode. if it had 4 million viewers per episode that'd be more viewers than some nbc primetime tv comedies/drama.

Great post man and I would absolutely love to see Boxing on either of these networks regularly. Do you know if there have been talks to use TNT and TBS as a platform for Boxing between Top Rank/Golden Boy and HBO? see pac-marquez 1 and 2 replays on tnt/tbs? see pac go on conan and lopez show? if the fight happens during nba season , pac can go talk to charles , ernie and kenny? pac-marquez 3 commercials during nba games? don't know if it's ever been brought up but that's the only way hbo can compete with showtime/cbs. use their sister networks. it's not network tv but everyone has cable nowadays anyway. tnt/tbs has a bigger audience than hbo since it's not a premium cable channel. plus don't forget sports illustrated and cnn are also time warner like hbo. they could be involved as well. who knows?

360's rating weren't that great on cbs. don't know about showtime though. yeah it were't that good compare to the other channels but it still reached 4 million views according to the article I read in Yahoo.

all depends on what hbo proposes. it's not like pac permanently left hbo. he just went with the better showtime offer. if cbs doesn't give pac-jmm 3 the cbs coverage it did offer for this fight......who knows? hbo threw a ton of money at top rank to get the mosley fight. they lost because they couldn't give the extras cbs did. now if hbo can counter with say someting on TNT and TBS and CNN (hbo's sister networks) now that could get pac-jmm 3.

hopefully HBO, showtime sucks. the presentation is just awful, the color commentators are fucking ambien pills, feels like a sterile, low budget wrestling match with the cheesy overused metal graphic all over your TV. could care less if the fight was great but still. nothing beats HBO's production crew.

He's not, but hey at least well see someone actually try and fight Pacquiao right? I mean two of his last three opponents have simply just mailed it in after feeling his punching power. I'm not so sure Marquez won't do the same after feeling the difference between Pac's power at 130 and Pac's power at 140-147. One thing I know for sure is that JMM will hit the canvas at some point. Probably multiple times. Then cry foul about losing the fight for a third time.

I don't care about what the ratings for Fight Camp 360 were. They did a great job imo and the last 2 episodes were 1 hour and got to show much more insight than 24/7. I just wish all 4 episodes were 1 hour.

I thought 360 ratings were 4 million on average while 24/7 ratings were 300,000 for Pac v Margo. 360's rating weren't that great on cbs. don't know about showtime though.

I have nothing against Showtime, but HBO does a better job IMO. I think it's very likely that they'll stay on Showtime though. plus we're use to hbo too. a big fight just isn't the same without lederman's scoring and merchant's senile rants. i give showtime a break. they're not used to holding big ppv's. not since what tyson? they'll get better.

I wonder if Pacquiao vs. Mosley hits a homerun on the ppv buys if they will continue with Showtime and try and capitalize with the CBS promotion or what will happen. I had pros and cons about Showtime but at least Top Rank was thinking outside the box and tried something new. all depends on what hbo proposes. it's not like pac permanently left hbo. he just went with the better showtime offer. if cbs doesn't give pac-jmm 3 the cbs coverage it did offer for this fight......who knows? hbo threw a ton of money at top rank to get the mosley fight. they lost because they couldn't give the extras cbs did. now if hbo can counter with say someting on TNT and TBS and CNN (hbo's sister networks) now that could get pac-jmm 3.

This fight is more trash than the Mosley fight. At least we knew Mosley had the power to get a KO. Marquez doesn't have **** at 140 and up. If Katsidis could catch Marquez and drop him, how the fck is Marquez going to take punches from a WW Pacquiao? It doesn't matter who markets the fight. Marquez lost twice already and has kissed the canvas on 4 occasions. He's not, but hey at least well see someone actually try and fight Pacquiao right? I mean two of his last three opponents have simply just mailed it in after feeling his punching power.

All that promotion for a dud of a fight. I guess we fell for Mosley's old tricks again.

Honestly, it would probably depend on the numbers Pac/Shane do. If it does better than FBF/Shane then obviously uncle Bob will stick to Showtime. If it flops then obviously he runs back to HBO.

;10498579']Stick to HBO, 24/7 knows how to hype people up for fights. Fight Camp 360 does not. The ppv buys might surprise you.
