Floyd fighting on CBS in September?

Let's put it this way, the fight will probably be exciting and THAT is good for TV. loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool what makes u think the fight will be exciting? Especially considering we have zero info on the fight?

I'm cool with it...but its really funny how bad Haymon has destroyed Showtime.

Let's put it this way, the fight will probably be exciting and THAT is good for TV. True. Because I think Mayweather will really try and put a show on and try and stop Berto.

What's bad is Mayweather on TV = poor opponent, someone worse than the Guerrero and Ortiz fiascos. Let's put it this way, the fight will probably be exciting and THAT is good for TV.

Why wouldn't this be a good idea? It would be even better if the fight started at 8:00 PM eastern time. If you want to get more young fans into the sport, it might be a good idea to put the best boxer in the world on at a time when kids of all ages get a chance to watch. I don't think its a coincidence that boxing was one of the biggest sports in the US when Leonard, haggler, hearns, ARguello, Azumah, Slavdor Sanchez, Mancini, etc etc had fights on TV on Saturday and SUnday afternoons.

will be great for boxing whats the issue?

Makes A Lot Of Sense Actually! Nothing left to prove when it comes to PPV Buys, he has shattered every records possible he's not trying to prove anything with PPV buys lol wth man, sometimes I think this is a school yard.

CBS? So Mayfield and Berto do have a big chance now is on free tv

I doubt CBS can afford a high profile fight like that.

I agree Floyd vs khan on cbs would be one of those top notch fights that would do better for growing boxing. People are tired of floyd. Dude does vampire facials and cheats. no one talks about his shot he got before fighting a shot pac. Tue .for what??? He is barry bonds and lance armstrong of boxing. Literally

Instead of cashing out big on his last fight/PPV why is Floyd trying to repel millions of viewers on free TV?

Floyd won't sell sh1t if it's on ppv. Everyone finally realized how much of a boring, point fighter he really is this May. Ain't nobody trying to pay money to see him fight again. He's great at what he does, that I admit but he's a glorified point fighter. Put that ni99a on CBS for free!! F*ck outta here.... He can't sell anyway without a super star opponent anyway. He's dropped dud ppv numbers under showtime, costing them money when he didn't fight Pac and Nelo. Yeah because 800+ K are dud numbers. Who doesn't need a dance partner to do big numbers?

http://www.thesweetscience.com/news/articles-frontpage/21108-rumor-sept-12-mayweather-fight-to-screen-on-cbs I'd like to sue Al Haymon for taking my idea, I know he stole it from me. I'm a boxing promoter genius, these are facts. I said Floyd should fight on CBS in a thread on here not too long ago. In all seriousness though, this would be great even if it's against Berto. When they were announcing opponents and I had a feeling they were looking for cheap ones for a reason. I think this is why, they're going to put Floyd on CBS and see what the "ceiling" is for a fight on primetime. It should happen because it's a great move and would show sponsors and fighters there's money to be made on regular TV. There are definitely some bad things about Haymon, but if this happens I only wish other promoters had his vision and more importantly the bankroll and ball sack to make it happen. The person who wrote this is an idiot. Rumors are something that boxing writers pull out of their ass when they have nothing else to write about or smoke too much marijuana and start having heavenly revelations.

Mayweather-Berto FREE would still be to expensive for me. Better things to do with my time

That's fair enough but wouldn't they prefer him to fight on PPV for more money? Can't see how they'd happily let that sort of money go... I don't think it makes that much of a difference at this point if they lost anything the made it back in the pac fight and if Floyd fights on cbs the commercial space will be expensive af.

Floyd's contract pays him in the area of 30 million per fight no matter whether it is PPV or not. If CBS wants to throw that much money down the tube on a PBC show, they can go right ahead and do it. And not all of Floyd's PPVs have turned a profit in the past in any case. But seeing as how PBC is NOT a CBS property and they do not control the show, I fail to see how Haymon could shift the final fight from Showtime to CBS because he would actually have to move the contract from Showtime to PBC which is NOT a CBS property, basically PBC would have to purchase the Mayweather contract from CBS/Showtime. I seriously doubt this could be done so easily. This, basically Al would have to buy out the Mayweather contract from CBS, and then swallow the losses on the payday he would require.

It would be great to see the 49th on CBS but there are a lot of mouths that need to be fed. CBS would be looking at close to $100 million guarantee and I do see them selling that much advertisement. Mayweather isn't main stream marketing.

He's dropped dud ppv numbers under showtime, costing them money when he didn't fight Pac and Nelo. That 'glorified point fighter' just smashed PPV records and banked 300 Million for a nights work. This is AFTER similar arguments were made of his PPV demise post-DLH and Canelo fights. But keep on hoping, Playa.

Honestly I knew this was gonna happen....I knew it
