[Left Hook Tua]

lifetime.....

[-Spinal-]

went for showtime

HBO


who gives a **** if Showtime has CBS?


like showing Fight Camp 360 at 9am really helps anyways...Showtime/CBS did a faceplant in handling PAC-Mosely

hbo obviously.

would probably be the best to go back since all the other good fighters we want pac to fight is mostly over at hbo.

Team Buzz-Kill.

If CBS promises the same sort of promotional push for Pac-Marquez as they gave for Pac-Mosley, Top Rank would be stupid to go back to HBO... although they could hold HBO's legs to the fire knowing how desperate they all are to keep their jobs after their recent blunders.

Maybe if Time Warner gets involved and airs 24/7 and ads on TNT, TBS, The CW, Cartoon Network, etc. that would make it a much smarter move.

HBO should put the 24/7 series on TNT, and then put the undercard before the PPV on TNT with the HBO BAD crew. But what do I know...

That's what the UFC does before before every PPV, they air the prelims on ****e and that helps to drive buys. Last UFC event, the prelims did about 2 million views.

That's great for creating interest in the PPV, but more so giving people a chance to see guys (ie, Jose Benavidez) who normally get no shine but could be future stars.

Putting 24/7 on TNT would make 24/7 even more popular. All those cheapskate couch potatoes who don't have HBO will finally be able to watch 24/7. That's a great idea.

Comedy Central 'cause this fight is kind of a joke IMO.

Pac has improved too much at WW.

HBO is great but Showtime was a refreshing chance of pace. Wouldn't mind either network.

Or The History channel, because Pacquiao has been fighting pre-historic aged fighters lately.

Speaking of the History channel, Hopkins vs Pascal II should have been on it, cause Hopkins gonna make history tonight when he becomes the oldest champion in sports history.
