Floyd fighting on CBS in September?

[boxinghead530]

Personally i'll pass on a Floyd fight regardless if its on CBS. I've seen enough of Floyd through his career to know what I'm getting. He's been a great fighter and provided lots of entertainment but its time for him to go. And for his fanboys I feel the same about Pacquiao. Move on and let boxing be taken over by others. Boxing deserves to be free of all his antics. Him vs a Berto on CBS is not appealing at all regardless if it free, and it wont do squat for building more fans. I'd rather him just retire than watch him fight non threating opponents.

I think it pulls 25 million viewers,, maybe more.. It will def be the highest rating that night

25 million viewers, you have got to be kidding. It probably will be the highest rating of that night but 25 million viewers? yea sure

Yea, but at the same time the deal was always about exposure for them and their boxing brand. If they are already well enough off money wise after the 5 fights they may not care enough and eat the rest to gain the extra exposure hoping they can make it up on ads and whatnot down the road.


Floyd would be the issue because he would kind of have a limit on what he could make as opposed to PPV where he is getting a cut (if it does well enough). I suppose they could work out a deal based on the ad pay if that is high enough, but honestly that would be kind of uncharted territory.

Floyd's contract pays him in the area of 30 million per fight no matter whether it is PPV or not. If CBS wants to throw that much money down the tube on a PBC show, they can go right ahead and do it. And not all of Floyd's PPVs have turned a profit in the past in any case.

But seeing as how PBC is NOT a CBS property and they do not control the show, I fail to see how Haymon could shift the final fight from Showtime to CBS because he would actually have to move the contract from Showtime to PBC which is NOT a CBS property, basically PBC would have to purchase the Mayweather contract from CBS/Showtime. I seriously doubt this could be done so easily.

CBS owns showtime. it is one of the three [four] major networks in the states. i don't really count fox, but i should.

But CBS does NOT own PBC or have any stake in that enterprise at all. Moving Floyd to PBC would not be a simple thing to do.

Yes because the way to build fans is to not show it as opposed to showing it. Great logic you have there.

what the f#ck are you even talking about?

[BrometheusBob.]

That makes it even more likely we get a mayfield/Berto type opponent..


Interested to see what kind of ratings this would pull

lol pretty sure that would **** on anything Big **** Theory has done. A laughable suggestion.

If they (Haymon, CBS/Showtime, Mayweather) want to make it work it is not a hard thing for them to do, and not something that really concerns me.

The problem would most likely be Floyd because no matter how unlikely it would be he would want the chance at upside.

[FLYBOY]

This will be great for Boxing. All hail Al Haymon! #ThankAlHaymon

You should PM him. The old clown put me on ignore then replies in my threads? He can't respond to my threads anymore because I ignored him. He's a **** poster anyway man, "if it's not GGG it's ****" he's a joke.
