    Actually, I like it this way! Let them put their 24/7 drama in CBS for free! That's an Extra audience maybe 20X more.

    IN the 1990s, I only knew about RJJ, DLH & Chavez thru ESPN coverage. I never had HBO since Tyson bites Holyfield! Got HBO only because of Pac.

    But now with 20x more audience knowing about Pac legend, I'm sure it will be a very good impact on the PPV buys! Then maybe after that, once advertizers knew how Big Pac has become, Pac can fight free in CBS.

    With the CBS buildup, this fight will probably vastly outsell most people's initial predictions.

    It's OK!! Pac was Ranked Higher anyway! ATG or P4P! Pac dont need Floyd anymore!

    Pac will annihilate both Mosley & JMM! Then what will Floyd do?? Ducked the best?? Pac's making him look bad!!

    I don't think even CBS could spin this fight into anything bigger than it is.

    I know, but as a boxing fan it sucks if it never happens, imagine duran leonard not happening.

    I've been really disappointed with HBO's coverage over the past year, and I'm glad the tide is turning on them.

    HBO said they were tired of making too much money from Pac fights. Their banks said no more room in the vaults.

    Interesting...
    I wonder if HBO will now trash Manny /Arum on their telecasts?

    HBO was willing to do a 24/7 for Margarito, so HBO got it.

    Arum gets pissed because HBO won't buy Cotto/Martirosyan.

    HBO won't do a 24/7 for Mosley, so HBO doesn't get it.

    Pretty simple. Not saying this is the reason why, but it can never be said enough: Arum = scumbag
