    This, this people act like I'm saying Mayweather on tv every week Rios-Alvarado would have been great on network tv they only made 750,000 combined, Matthysse made 350,000 for his last fight, add in the gate and international rights and this would make money.

    Amercian sports are built around stars, the bigger the "star" the greater the return. If CBS can cash in on PBF's current star power, while developing some of these young guys who are on the cusp...the sky's the limit.

    CBS has a strong presence in football. They would do well to promote some of the ex-players who are converting to boxing.

    I can easily see a quick promo during a college football game "make sure to catch former Spartan linebacker Seth Mitchell as he enters the ring next Saturday against......"

    I think CBS can capitalize on Floyd's super stardom for sure
