Mayweather/Alvarez PPV on Time Warner

[Check_hooks]

Yall do know that you can get CBS for free with a attenna right?

TWC don't give a **** about CBS not showing football

Somebody with a brain; I appreciate you. There isn't a American cable company who can go without showing foootball.

Time Warner and FOX are having the same beef. And last year Time Warner went through this with Direct TV over the broadcasting of the Lakers games. They will come to an agreement sooner rather than later.

This dispute will be settled before the NFL season starts. Time Warner cant just drop CBS and go without the NFL and SEC football. This has nothing to do with Mayweather. Showtime is just caught in the crossfire because they are owned by CBS.

theres got to be another way..

showtime should OFFER live streaming PPV

Top Rank streams most of their PPVs with their own commentators. Golden Boy could do the same.

According to this, there's about 12 million Time Warner subscribers. And according to this, there's about 102k cable subscribers.

It's possible the areas Time Warner serves has a disproportional number of boxing fans though so I guess it's theoretically possible that they'll lose more than 10%.

why would it affect it, you can buy the PPV without having showtime

But Showtime is the one doing the PPV.

I am one of the several million being affected by TWC dropping CBS.

I can't even watch online shows from CBS because of this.

They need to solve this **** fast because I have never missed a PPV. hopefully Golden boy will counter this by doing an online Golden Boy promotions ppv stream, or carry it as an independent on TWC like how Top Rank has their separate broadcast from HBO boxing.
