CBS This Weekend 4:30 ET. Is It Being promoted?

I'm not sure that's a very good time or not and they are putting what most casuals will look at as a midget on tv. Are they even promoting it?

I just see a ratings disaster coming. Anyone have CBS numbers for Saturdays at that time?

I'm 90% certain GB don't want high ratings. I wouldn't GB trying to sabotage their own show if they didn't have to do it right before Duva's card on NBC. It'll create a bad impression that'll wash over onto her one. I'm not saying I expect huge numbers for Adamek-Cunningham either but at least Duva made an effort.

Boxing fans are the sport's worst enemy.

GBP are the sport's worst enemy doing something like this. You know well this is going to be used as proof that boxing is on the way out when it does poor. They're putting an under card on a major network. How arrogant can you get? They need at least a half decent card.

I'd like to re-ask the OP's question. How is the promotion for this on CBS?

I saw the fight being promoted last Sunday during NFL games.
Oscar was on tv this morning promoting it.

The Khan fight on network tv would have been something legit but it would cut into Oscars piggy bank.

Either way, I'll be watching hoping for a good scrap and yes I did see it advertised during the NFL show.
