Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao-Marquez, No Word on Showtime/HBO Yet

[Check_hooks]

Big Picture wise it would be better to go with Showtime because of CBS. This was a career high PPV for Pac because of the additional exposure to casual fans who watched fight camp 360.

And I like how they show more about the fighters on fight camp 360. No ****** stylized narration and music. Just straight up look into the fighters lives as they are training for the fight.

I don't give a **** just as long as the fight happens.

if the 1.3-1.4 numbers are true then that would be pac's best ppv numbers. pac should stay with showtime/cbs.

Got a love options Pacquio is huge draw.

Should be a great fight , I like HBO better but it's about $$$$ , CBS would like a better fight than Mosely running for his life after the knock down . Marquez DOESN'T run he fights !

1.4 millions buys out of the ability to reach 115 million homes is a promotional failure. actually its because of showtime that pac got his biggest ppv numbers which is still less than mayweathers.the numbers don't lie.you have to love the way they said 1.4 is pacs most buys.

I'm not necessarily buying that it was pacs biggest ppv because of cbs. I think Mosley may of also had something to do with that. He is after all a big name in the sport. Maybe pac brings a lot of fans to the table but he doesn't bring all the fans. It takes 2 to fight. If you don't think that's the case then maybe pac should shadow box for 12 rounds and see how many ppv's he gets lol

Arum already knows which network he's going with, most likely CBS, but he's trying to get the best deal possible and HBO would give their left nut to have this fight so they would make a big $ offer as well as promotional push, which in turn would force CBS/SHOW to offer more.

Just using competition to squeeze out every penny.

The fight better be on hbo where it belongs. Max kellerman jim lamlply Larry merchant......those guys are the best in the business!

i don't care if it's on either network, but if i had to choose it would be on showtime beacuse of their telecast team.they are a much more intelligent comentating, and more better.
