WOW!!! Great news for boxing!!!! All hail Bob Arum!!!
Arum, who considers CBS Corp. president and CEO Les Moonves a friend, said it has not been determined exactly how CBS will be involved. But similar to what HBO did with its 24/7 series, Showtime is going to produce a four-part series that will follow the fighters on the buildup to the match that it calls Fight Camp 360. The episodes, Arum said, will air live on CBS first and then on Showtime, except for the final one. That one, which will run through the weigh-in, will be on Showtime live first and then will be repeated on May 7, the day of the fight, on CBS.
There have been reports that the CBS Morning Show would be based in Las Vegas the week of the fight, but Arum said that is premature.
Were working with CBS to see which assets will be available, but I have a firm commitment from Les Moonves that he will lend his full support to this project, Arum said.
