At least something is pulling in some damn numbers for this fight

[TRTboy]

maybe that will help cause there is absolutely no hype and excitement for this fight. I mean I just realized the fight is next week.

From now on every "All Access" shows go on CBS, Showtime got no subscribers

[JAMES_THUNDER]

its an ok number if 80% or more of those viewers are willing to fork up 60 bucks for the ppv if not those ratings are useless, being that it was on free tv at prime time.

That number sucks as far as major network ratings go.

But as far as generating buzz for the fight, if generates another couple hundred thousand PPV buys it would be a success.

When I saw the beginning says "Al Haymon productions present" I stopped watching! That means they, Floyd dictate everything!

I'll watch if it says CBS presents! But no matter what I'm not buying!

[thuggery]

Wait is that supposed to be considered a success? 1.70 for a network that every person in the entire US has?
