Pacquiao-Mosley: Arum hoping CBS will bring more PPV buys
March 23rd, 2011
By Dan Ambrose: Manny Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum is hoping that by having Pacquiao’s fight with Shane Mosley advertised on CBS will help squeeze out a few more pay per view buys compared to what the fight would have got had it been on HBO.
This may not bring in the results that he’s hoping because the fight audience has dried up in American in the past decade, and it’s unknown whether people will take to seeing a little fighter like Pacquiao and an old one like Mosley mix it up.
America has always preferred watching bigger fighters like heavyweights instead of tiny ones. At the end of the day, Arum could fail and end up with miserable numbers for this fight.

i love to watch pacman fights and mma.
The age of legit competitive match ups are gone the way of the dodo.
I for one have lost the crazy, breath taking interest in this fight like I had when Maytweeter/Pacmaniac was 1st talked about happening in Mar 2010. I dropped my guard and then expected something in November but instead got a fake title match between two guys who were unranked at 154. It was a good fight but because of my protest I did not pay for it up front like I always do.
My point is that there is no way I will pay a huge price for this fight. I feel more angry than excited and currently have no interest in seeing this fight. I am sure many people feel the same way too especially with the apparent greed.
If Maytweeter does not want to fight just say he is retired and move on. Then no more tweets, no more interviews, no more radio shows etc. Hie relevance will automatically cease. If he wants to fight…just do it. If not go away and take his ’0′ with him. It is as exciting as his last or 5 fights.
and tiny one hit the best PPV
“America has always preferred watching bigger fighters like heavyweights…”
sorry biggers fighters are now out of extinction
not me. mosely Pac should not be.Cotto Myorga should not have been.adameks next PPV farce is a real drag on boxing fans.it is killing viewer wantability.
The numbers will do well over 1 million. It’s gonna be a huge success as usual.
If you don’t like the fight, THEN DON’T WATCH .. it’s as simple as that …
STFU
They better hope HBO doesn’t put any fight that day cause I’ll watch any fight before this one.
Showtime is very popular in Europe, United Kingdom, Russia, Middle East as well as in Asia. CBS have more than 200 million viewers all over the world. I don´t think there will have a problem selling it especially Pacquiao is the most exciting fighter to watch. He brings new things in each fight. He executes his combination of angles very artistically in the the ringside. No doubt that many will be glued in this fight, because a lot of fans are looking forward, how Pacquiao can top Mayweather UD against Mosley. I for one is very excited to watch the improvement of his right hand. Have you seen his training lately, that´s only the first week. Meanwhile up to this date, I have never seen any Mosleys video regarding his training. I wonder what kind of training he´s doing, Mosley is a nice guy, but considering his steroid admission history, I´m getting curios! Sorry, it´s only my honest opinion.
