Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Guerrero: CBS Schedule of Heavy Coverage

[4Corners]

We don't get anything Not international stuff anyway.

We get the fights, and a lot more so with the launch of Boxnation. Just not the build up.

This Mayweather fight and his last one was on Boxnation so not on PPV no. Just the £10 a month subscription price.

But the Ortiz fight was on Primetime which is a PPV channel but it's only £15 so around 20 odd dollars.

Pacquaio's fight's are always on Primetime.

Before that, Sky Sports used to show their fights for free. Sky Sports have pretty much shown Mayweather's entire career.

Only time they didn't show one of his fights for free was the Hatton fight but that's because of Hatton obviously. All of his big fights were on Sky Box Office (PPV)

Boxnation will most likely show all of the All Access on the day of the fight one after the other. That's what they did with the Cotto fight.

I see. I wish I could watch Mayweather for free basically, but you guys had to pay to watch Hatton.

I believe Mayweather-Hatton was the biggest UK PPV ever, or close to it???

And damn, they really suck the money out of the fans over here, 60-70 dollars for a PPV.

I was wondering when they were going to start building this fight up. I've started inviting people to the fight party and a lot of them didn't even know Mayweather had a fight coming up.

Same here. I was surprised the other day when I realized the fight was only 2 1/2 weeks away... and I have a party planned for it!

You're joking right?....they're showing TWO fights, it's the Aydin fight and the Katsidis fight. Plus the Berto fight was regular HBO and I don't think they can legally show that unless they buy the rights. Katsidis was too but maybe cuz it was a PPV fight it changes things I'm not sure.

It's one of those channels that averages 10k viewers.

NBC and NBCSN, even as the latter has struggled to find an audience in its first year. Available in 80 million homes — roughly 19 million fewer than both ESPN and ESPN2 — it has had ratings highs (4.35 million viewers for the US-Japan women’s gold-medal soccer match in the London Olympics) and serious lows (an average of 71,000 prime-time viewers from Aug. 20-26, an all-time low for the network even during its OLN and Versus incarnations).


CBS College Sports was rebranded as CBS Sports Network in February 2011, and while it does not show up in the regular Nielsen ratings because it does not subscribe, it is now available in 48 million homes.

They are really half assing this promotion. Talk about starting a massive deal with a whimper. GBP is ****ting the bed. In fairness Top Rank didn't do much with their one-shot CBS deal either (they promised that the morning show would be out of Vegas during fight week...yeah right), they did at least have that one countdown show on CBS proper but it bombed in the ratings.

Typical misleading b-scene headline.
