I think richard is talking out of his ass.
But if they did get a deal with CBS, I wouldn't want Canelo fighting some scrub or weak opponent, and that's the thing, they'll only have the Canelo fight on Showtime/CBS if it's a lesser opponent. If it's someone like Cotto or James Kirkland it will be on PPV.
So I'd rather not have it on CBS if it's against say, Quintana or someone like that. Probably hurt the sport more if it's a weak ass fight.
