Why Showtime for Canelo-Ortiz?

[croz]

They're taking a PPV which has a good chance to bomb and giving it to a smaller network that struggles to sell PPVs? What's the logic here exactly?

canelo - ortiz will sell regardless of what network...

Why does it matter which network does the PPV? It doesnt limit audience numbers like a regular network fight since HBO has way more viewer then Showtime, 29 to 21.3

Its Pay Per View, anyone can buy it

Canelo vs Ortiz ppv will not bomb @ all

What do you think it'll do?
I'm thinking anything over 250k is a big success.

Anyone can buy but their advertising will be limited on the smaller channel. HBO offers more straight up exposure.

agreed this is the type of fight thats sells itself whos carrying their network name on it is of little consequence,besides its a very wise decision for the fans anyhow,who the hell wants to hear the super biased hbo guys??? they are sooo biased they are either unwilling or incapable of even gving a blow by blow account of whats transpiring in a fight.The jmm pac fight 3 is a good example,listeneing to them guys youd think pac was actually winning,the hbo man-love is very tiring no more **** **** please.......

THey dont only advertise on HBO. If you've watched TV over the last few months, FLoyd-Cotto and Pac-Bradley advertisement has been all over cable including the NBA and NFL playoffs

Canelo-Kirkland would've been a great 24/7 or Fightcamp 360...everyone kinda knows about ortiz's story already.

Personally, I don't mind Showtime PPVs or Showtime broadcasts in general, the HBO crew is very tiresome.

[Simply Zyzz]

the network doesnt matter... seems like people will ***** about anything, this is a great fight!!!

Agreed. It's a plus that I won't have to listen to the HBO crew that I used to like a lot.
