Like it was said earlier, NFL is coming on soon. Biggest sport in the U.S.. They should definitely have it taken care of by then. If not I will be pretty pissed off since everyone I know has TWC and I have no theatres showing the fight.
Check Hooks is right though basic TV comes with CBS lol. Just unplug your cable box when you want to watch CBS.
But my main concern is PPV I don't want to watch on a cheap ass stream. I wan tto order it has good fight son this card.
Honestly TWC and CBS will be more concerned about coming to a deal before the start of the NFL season. The first game is the 5th I think so I'd imagine some deal coming into place before then
edit: wizard above me beat me to it.
and lol @ check hooks
Yall do know that you can get CBS for free with a attenna right?
TWC don't give a f*ck about CBS not showing football
You continue to prove how stupid you are; and I won't even comment on that ass attena comment
Somebody with a brain; I appreciate you. There isn't a American cable company who can go without showing foootball.
Time Warner and FOX are having the same beef. And last year Time Warner went through this with Direct TV over the broadcasting of the Lakers games. They will come to an agreement sooner rather than later.
This dispute will be settled before the NFL season starts. Time Warner cant just drop CBS and go without the NFL and SEC football. This has nothing to do with Mayweather. Showtime is just caught in the crossfire because they are owned by CBS.

theres got to be another way..
showtime should OFFER live streaming PPV
Top Rank streams most of their PPVs with their own commentators. Golden Boy could do the same.
According to this, there's about 12 million Time Warner subscribers. And according to this, there's about 102k cable subscribers.
It's possible the areas Time Warner serves has a disproportional number of boxing fans though so I guess it's theoretically possible that they'll lose more than 10%.
why would it affect it, you can buy the PPV without having showtime
But Showtime is the one doing the PPV.
I am one of the several million being affected by TWC dropping CBS.
I can't even watch online shows from CBS because of this.
They need to solve this **** fast because I have never missed a PPV. hopefully Golden boy will counter this by doing an online Golden Boy promotions ppv stream, or carry it as an independent on TWC like how Top Rank has their separate broadcast from HBO boxing.
TWC 10%? Really doubt that. TWC is the main company in all the big cities (NYC, LA, etc)
I saw a list somewhere listing all the top companies and how many subscribers they have. Let me look for the link.

Even with TWC completely dropping TWC/CBS? Are you guessing? Can u provide me a link?
