CBS will push ppv buys big time

[mushahadeen]

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 agree. the promotion of this fight shud center around what a crappy fight it is. you must work in marketing or public relations you seem to know what you're talking about.

I don't expect it to do 1 mil, mosley is coming off a draw and a huge loss

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.

I'm pretty sure most people who have CBS have "Cable". You kinda have to if you want to watch tv.

Base on how fast the gate got sold, 1+mil is simply inevitable.
I bet you one point or however this works....LOL

Look it up there is a still a large percentage of people who do not have cable, and CBS is still free. So a large percent of that HUGE extra audience is meaningless in terms of buying the fight.

More eyeballs is good though because people could get talking.

How do they watch it for free if they don't have cable though? I'm confused? Lot's of channels are free, but you still have to go through a cable provider to access them.

All you need is a TV, an antenna and possibly a converter if you have an old TV~

Don't see how when it's in such a prime time slot as 12pm, right after a magic bullet infomercial.

Ya, that's true for local channels, but the majority of the 115 million viewers aren't doing that.

I think it will help. Everyone knows who Pac is, and are interested in the first place. This will help quite a few people get that little bit more interested to buy the fight.

can americans order this fight if they arent subscribed to showtime? Ive no idea how it works over there
