    If it was free, do you guys think we would get 40 million viewers worldwide?

    It's David vs Goliath,but David(Showtime) has been making big matches and has been given a bigger budget this year and GBP has a cozy relationship with Showtime.I would not be surprised if Showtime beats the giant HBO in this negotiation-IF Floyd agrees to it.
    This is clearly the reason that the fight has not been announced as yet,but it will be shortly.

    GBP most probably want Showtime. Mayweather most probably wants HBO.

    It's gonna be very interesting, if Showtime can't get Mayweather now they never will. High stakes.

    Definitely HBO, I don't see Mayweather fighting for SHOWTIME anytime soon.
