Apparently, CBS has not seen the worst on Mayweather, yet!

that's because floyd and his repugnant fan base doesnt realize the fact that he's not as famous, charismatic, and important as they think they are.

I dont like floyd and even i cringe at some of the stuff he says do.

There's a reason why he has never had a major shoe or apparel deal.

The show was just plain boring. These Mayweather documentaries are getting old, and it's just not interesting to watch anymore...even for Floyd fans.

100% right. I also think you have to consider that most of the ppv buys he generates are from people wanting to see him lose and I think the casuals are now wise to the fact that the guy wont take any risks.

The show was decent because of the interview with ppl who knew Floyd.
CBS took after Fox who do a similar show every sunday before their UFC on Fox but those are much better and follow the main 6 fighters around.

How can a casual get wise to the fact he doesnt take risks if they are just casuals and dont know this sport?

Maybe these ****** ****s will learn you have to market. You can't just put a show like that on network tv, and expect it to automatically get ratings.

Could you imagine Lebron James having a doc done on him on network tv? That **** would be in commercials nightly for a month.

The ****** fucking boxing promoters will never learn. Plus they don't care. Too money hungry to improve the sport.

They are reaching out to boxing and non boxing fans. This IS shrewed marketing.

Ouch!!!!!!!good response to a post that contradicts its self.

It was a success for boxing and that's all that matters. I doubt showtime is *****ing about the rating.

While floyd plays a heel to sell tickets he does a lot of work for charity that he does not talk about. And when you make the type of money he makes who cares about a shoe deal. Dudes get caught up in the hype. Boxing is a hurt sport its not for dudes that want to hold hands and sing.
