Why do people think CBS & Showtime wanting to brand the event as their own is a bad thing for PBC? Can't you simple-minded buffoons read the tea leaves?
Haymon drops Warriors boxing?

Yeah because Haymon is trying to create this new brand called PBC and prove that PBC can attract new casual viewers and be successful. So your biggest fight which you told the world would be on PBC back in Fall of 2015 has been moved back so many times while many reported this maybe linked to the fact PBC has been losing more money then anticipated and can't afford to pay Thurman and Porter and that's why the fight keeps moving on the calendar. Now last minute the fight get's moved to Showtime and you lose a golden chance to bring eyeball to PBC. But sure lets act like NOT having the biggest fight PBC can make actually on PBC is no biggie.
This isn't happening because Showtime wants it. Showtime wanted all those fights they lost in 2015 to PBC. This is happening because PBC investors think this fight will lose too much money and Haymon NEEDS Showtime to pay for it.Comment

Will they be saying "Showtime Championship Boxing...brought to you by PBC"?
Highly doubtful.....
This is a showtime card plain and simple...otherwise it would be another PBS card..showtime paid for the rights for this fight and decided to use their team and production on CBS...most likely because show times ratings have been abysmal lately.Comment

Wait...I remember you. You thought Showtime was losing big money on the Mayweather contract.
