Logged in on their site, their scheduling says they will stream Cricket at 4:50 am, I hope that means they stream different sports at the same time.
Edit: changed the channel to the tarver fight just as he caught the guy with a uppercut to put the guy on his ass, then proceed to finish him. Not a great statement, but he will talk this into another pay day since there aren't that many names around cruiser/heavy.
I would love a game akin to football manager, give a really heavy strategic boxing management sim. You get to do the corner work, train your roster of fighters, manage sparring partners, and build PPV fighters.
Of course these bastards get arrested, party away all their money, lose. It would be amazing.

Tarver is on the "Shannon Briggs patented Path to a Title Shot". He'll fight two or three more times against no hopers like tonight then cash out getting outclassed in a title shot.
Wlad vs Tarver in November 2014 is heating up!

God I hope he retires for good. At least he got a decent paycheck for this of this fight.
He's had a hall of fame career. Now it's time to retire.

They showed highlights of it on the Fox card. Looked pretty good for what it was. I wonder if they'll build to him vs Tarver?
I hope the WBC strips Vitali. If he wants to come back he can be auto #1 contender.

So who do you guys think should face who next? Pacman,Mayweather and Danny Garcia. For pacquiao i think a rematch vs Bradley makes sense. Not sure yet for the other two.

pac can fight bradley. as for floyd, the only fight that makes sense for him (or is hsould say the only pbf fight that i would pay for) is vs pac.. Or those two guys can nut up and fight martinez at 152. THough I think the only fight that makes sense for us boxing fans is PBF vs. PAC.
I have no interest in that fight any more.

Floyd vs Manny will happen, more than likely at the end of Floyd's Showtime contract. If Pac wins his next fight and Floyd's next fight is boring or against a sucky opponent, they'll make it happen.
They had Lewis/Tyson ultra late, they'll did a way to make this

Definitely a high light of his career, but I feel he doesn't get enough credit for being Oscar TWICE in DLH's prime. That's something really nice to hang his hat on. Dude has had a great career but yeah it's past time for him to call it.

Tonight's HBO card should be nice. I'm going with Stevenson and Kovalev in KO victories. Plus I get to watch Pac make hamburger out of Rios; missed it last week.

Finally getting to see Pacquiao/Rios on the replay tonight and Manny is just dominating. Rios has nothing to offer. It's even more one sided than the descriptions.

Rios would get hit 7 times in his wind up. Repeat 10 times a round for 12 rounds.
Add in a smile here and there when he got popped

He did it with my favorite combination; straight right, left hook. And neither punch landed clean, that's the scary part.
Pacquiao-Rios did 500k buys.

Remember when it was a disaster when Mayweather-Guerro only got 1 million buys?

Different deals, mane. Given how much showtime had forked out for Floyd, they needed a bigger return to break even.

What does that have to do with anything? People still have to buy the fight to make that return; substantially more people bought Floyd/Guerrero than Pacquaio/Rios.
Um, what? Showtime spent a hell of a lot of money promoting that fight and tying Floyd into a contract. The rumours in the industry (IIRC) were that they needed at least 1.2m buys to make it worthwhile but generated around 900k. Arum put the Pac fight in Macau, got $8m site fee and sold around 500k against the 600k they were expecting due to it being in China. Obviously it's not a runaway success either.
Think Arum didn't manage to get the infrastructure sorted for the Chinese PPV either.
Floyd's fight got twice as many PPV buys.

I can't believe you are try spin this as a win for Pacquiao.
I'm not spinning it as a win for Pacquiao I was merely responding to your post comparing the two fights.I even said in my post that it wasn't a runaway success but overall the promotion made money. The fact is that the Mayweather fight made a $12m LOSS (I underlined and bolded for you, seeing as you seem to like that so much).
Personally I couldn't give a fuck who sells what, I'm a boxing fan, not a business fan. However, if you're going to spout ill informed nonsense that I know to be incorrect, I'll correct it.

Between the shitty fights and the cost (70$ Or more hd!!), and piracy, I can't believe anyone is ordering a ton of PPVs anymore.
I think Floyd/Canelo did over a million so who knows

Wow. I guess when you have a mega fight, with a good undercard people will still pony up.
Sorry for ramming that down your throat. The underlining (etc) was unnecessary.
Maybe that isn't where you're coming from, but that is where I'm coming from.
Some anonymous sources have said CBS/Showtime might have lost money on the event but this is weighed against public sources which have disputed this. Even if they did lose money, this does not mean that the promotion was a failure, it just means that Floyd's team out-maneuvered them and got a larger slice of the pie than they deserved.
Well, we don't disagree there then. Mayweather's fight got twice as many PPV buys when they both fought 3rd tier opposition. This is a pretty dramatic statement regarding Floyd's power in the sport vs. Pac's at this present time.
Maybe that isn't where you're coming from, but that is where I'm coming from.
First off, no one has any official published numbers; we can only make educated speculation. Credible people claim that that the Floyd-Guererro fight did somewhere between 870k-1.1m PPV buys at $60-$70 which equals something between $56m-$70m in PPV revenue (if you assume that it did 50/50 SD/HD). The gate did another $10m. There's also revenue from international broadcasts. The promotion did not lose money.
