Off topic but they should have put Angulo Silva on CBS and they should have matched Santa Cruz with a guy who would sit in the pocket and trade and not move so much.

How did the CBS Boxing show do in tv ratings?

Showtime is pay cable.
The choice of Santa-Cruz was probably a calculated move by GBP. Put a fighter who's not PPV ready or ready to headline an HBO or Showtime card on network TV where those who watch know nothing about modern boxing and for all they know this guy could be the next Manny Pacquiao, and they'll see his action-fighting style and think all fights are like this and thus tune into fights more on HBO or Showtime. Cost effective and good way to convert non-fans.

That's the same reason boxing moved mostly to Sky sports in the UK. Sky pays a hell of a lot more than the public channels. Once Degale, Eubank and Fury become worth something they'll jump ship immediately.

This felt more like an informational for Showtime boxing more than "Boxing is back on network tv!" to me. They barely showed any ads during the breaks like I expected.
