      Keep in mind you can't order PPV without cable so that extra audience they are getting is not a market that is really going to buy the fight~


      Also someone who buys HBO is more likely to spend on a sporting even, some cat watching CBS probably doesn't like to pay high prices for tv programming~

      I am sure the fight will do fine but I doubt this really matters.

For example, im just one person and 8 people that arent boxing fans text me about the fight camp 360 since they had cbs on. If this fight does 1.5 mil buys which i am thinking is likely now we could be kissing hbo big ppv fights goodbye
        Just what we need. Another "megafight" that lets down the casual fan and drives them away again like Oscar vs Floyd. Awesome.

            Except this is a guaranteed action fight, not some jab and run don't wanna break my finger nail boring split decision exhibition. No one watching will be let down, that's a guarantee.

            Also guaranteed is that this fight does well over 1 mil buys, making Pacquiao the first fighter ever to have 4 consecutive years of at least that many.

            And the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'.

                  I feel bad for the casual observer who is suckered into buying this public execution.
                  If you didn't know any better you would think that the Mosley/Margarito fight happened relatively recently. Are they ever going to mention the Mayweather/Mora fights at all? They just aren't being honest with Mosley's chances and are intentially decieving the viewer, and I can't stand that.

                      I do think this fight will be very entertaining for an execution. I have alot of people that dont watch boxing that asked about watching it here when fight happens. I do fear a 1.5 mil buys and a knockout would hurt the chances of a mayweather fight
