so the Networks would rake in a 50-50 split, does that mean HBO would have to distribute 20% to floyd ? Pac sign on 70-30 ppv split in floyds favor right?

Put it online and let the pay-television distributors sweat. I know online may not be a viable option in many places, but from a business standpoint, I'm sure there's some enterprising web company (Netflix) willing to distribute it to a wide enough audience to rival traditional pay-per-view.

it'll be moved to spike tv

Regardless I'll be paying HBO for ppv over Showtime any day! Even at a higher cost if need be! Hate Showtime broadcasting

I wish it worked like that... I wish I could just pay for Showtime and not have to listen to that **** Lampley going **** **** **** **** cheerleading like the **** he is. Now if Floyd wins by KO while Lampley's cheerleading I wouldn't mind it lol. I really wish I could get a stream where there were no broadcasters and just the fight.

Fools, the fight will happen whether it's broadcast or not on Showtime & HBO!
It's just the greedy SOBs like Arum trying to mike his final cash cow.

Fuck it make an app and charge for it lol

Hell yeah! Fuck those greedy distributors! They could easily have an app done in time for android and apple phones, Playstation, Xbox, etc... and have it on the computer. Who needs dish, direct tv, comcast, etc... they want to be greedy then cut them out altogether. It would make headlines and further the trend of cable cutting.
