PPV and CBS Corporation.  

This new deal will consist of Showtime PPC and CBS promoting Floyd's boxing events on the CBS Television Network's numerous media outlets.  He's signed a contract with them which will consist of six fights over a span of the next 30 months.  

Floyd's first fight will be on May 4th against Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero.
