Those numbers are trash. Truax vs. Plant did over 2 million on Fox. Maybe don't cash that Canelo money yet Benavidez LOL.

It Plant vs Truax had been going against Estrada vs Gonzalez it would’ve probably been the same for Fox; 250k. Charlo style numbers

I could fight my cousin on Fox and do 1M viewers...Al Haymon is feeding the fans Caleb Plant on FOX and giving the Diehards on Showtime David.

I think the non cult fan who tunes into FOX would much rather watch Benavidez than Plant. Switch it up Al!

Plants numbers on FS1 were great too. No way Fox gives up Plant. For the time being he’s their fighter.

Showtime has 27 million subscribers. Yes they are trash.

Boxing continues to be the most antiquated sport that exists. It makes zero sense to have that particular fight behind a paywall.
