Showtime and HBO are in a frenzy to secure the pay-per-view rights to Manny Pacquiao’s next fight.
\n<\/strong>
\nTop Rank’s CEO, Bob Arum, who promotes Pacquiao, is in the process of receiving very lucrative proposals from both Time Warner\/HBO and CBS\/Showtime. Pacquiao’s last pay-per-view performance, a twelve round unanimous decision over Shane Mosley in May<\/strong>, generated his highest pay-per-view buyrate figures to date. Pacquiao-Mosley is estimated to have received between 1.3 to 1.4 million pay-per-view purchases.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Pacquiao’s last pay-per-view was handled by HBO’s rival, Showtime<\/strong>, who used their parent company CBS to secure a deal with Top Rank. CBS aired promotion spots for the event, and episodes of the Pacquiao\/Mosley Fight Camp 360 reality series.<\/p>\n

To prevent another Showtime coup, HBO is bringing out the heavy guns by involving their parent company Time Warner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This time around, Arum believes the proposals will be worth around $15 million<\/strong> – based on early estimations.<\/p>\n

Top Rank will receive the proposal from Time Warner\/HBO shortly, and Arum expects to have the proposal from CBS\/Showtime by next week.<\/p>\n

The 79-year old promoter admits to being blown away by the high paced pursuit by both networks <\/strong>to secure the next Pacquiao pay-per-view.<\/p>\n

“It’s unprecendented. CBS\/Showtime has not been finalized yet, but with HBO\/Time Warner coming in, I tell you that they’re making everything that came before look very small”, Arum said.<\/p>\n
