Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-CBS/Showtime: It's Good For Boxing, Says Koncz

[pistol whip]

People mention CBS because CBS is involved and Koncz said they could air a 24/7 on CBS primetime. This is just a phony reason to reach casual fans that don't know this fight is phony.

They barely have the budget to carry strikforce and they even bumped that back to Showtime. Trust me they arn't gonna spend the money required to carry a fight where both fighters will make 35 million combined plus a 4 part 24/7 series. Come on now!

Why do you guys keep mentioning CBS? None of it is gonna be on CBS!

lol CBS owns showtime...so CBS will promote the fight for people to order the fight on PPV..CBS might even have a sports special on the fight...maybe a couple part series (24/7) or just 1 1 hour special on the fight/fighters...CBS can also air on LIVE TV the undercard that Top Rank Live sometimes airs for free...why? to have more people tune in and order the PPV...

its all about the benjamins baby...CBS is on the right track with this..this could start a PPV undercard live on CBS for future showtime PPV's..boxing specials..monthly gigs...so many possibilities.

Do you know how much money CBS has and do you know that CBS is the most watched network? Try again

Not true, just no actual boxing will occur on CBS... for now.

This man knows the score.

Some people are so damn short-sighted, can't see past their hate and the moment.

The fight won't be but the promo and their version of 24/7 I beleive is to be transmitted thru CBS which is a bigger exposure as you will have it on free local channels, rather than a premium channel like HBO where you have to pay additional to cable, Dish, Direct TV..etc, just to have access.

exposure is good but you can't deny that this is about Arum and Manny wanting casual fans to buy this fight because they know hardcore fans and wirters hate this fight.

well we should let the people decide on this brother....arum, pac and mosley has the right to sell this fight to earn a living....like everyon else does...but i respect ur opinion..

[beatnutts]

it has nothing to do with hate because everyone knows how great Manny is. If you wanna be real, then ok, Manny is a great boxer and its a damn shame Mayweather is dodging him but this fight with Mosley is phony. If you like this fight and are excited about it then you're and idiot and a fake boxing fan. You can't find one legitimate boxing columnist or analyst that likes this fight.
