    I don't see any quotes in this article from CBS. This is all Arum.

    Arum said he thinks boxing could return to prime-time network television on CBS this year. But if it happens, it will probably be without Pacquiao because he might be too expensive.

    "Manny makes between $20 million to $30 million a fight," Arum said. "How are you going to leave that kind of money on the table to fight on free TV?

    "I'm not ruling it out completely. But I don't know that you could make it work (economically)."

    If not Pacquiao, Arum said, former world middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik might be a candidate for a CBS bout.

    Pavlik, 29, has a compelling life story, as he has battled alcoholism. Arum said he thinks there are enough worthy super middleweight opponents for Pavlik to create a good TV matchup.

    "Lucien Bute is a possibility," Arum said. "Andre Ward. Carl Froch. There are lots of good fights for Kelly."

    While Pavlik is a good story, it's debatable whether he could draw enough viewers to make the investment worthwhile for CBS or any other network.

      Arum teases it being on network tv all the time. Nothing ever comes of it.

            Give posts 18 and 33 another look, then stop typing for today. Come back fresh tomorrow.

              Arum has history of inflating PPV numbers. We'll see in a few days what the real numbers were.

                These are the facts.
                Let me tell you the truth, the Mosley that fought Gayweather was the fighter that don't respect Gayweather's power. He knows that Gayweather is beatable.

                While…

                The Mosley that fought the Pacman is the fighter that respect a true champion. After Mosley got KD and felt Pac’s power all of sudden he changed his boxing mode from fighting to win to survival mode.

                  That's old news. It wasn't after the PPV like the article posted at the top. Has Moonves said anything in the past week?
