Showtime/CBS to get Pacquiao-Mosley Fight instead of HBO

[fan johnny]

Great news, now if only they could put this fight on mainstream CBS and boxing will be big again in the US.

Or they could replay the fight on CBS for free. Replaying it, they would still get massive ratings but also exposes the mainstream to boxing for free.

It depends on the advertisers. Advertisement dollars is what drives "Free", If they reach a viewing audience of 10 Million it's considered a hit. When viewership starts nearing 20 million everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon. I'm not sure of the exact numbers but once viewership drops below 4 million they talk about late night showing or canceling.
