Kid fights are only good for undercards. We will see if the showtime schedule can top 1 million total.

What are you talking about? Haymon is a god who can do no wrong. It's Hearn and the evil DAZN who are the dark forces. Remember?

These numbers... Look... AMAZING! Oh thank you Haymon for doing such a great job on a platform that reaches MILLIONS of customers and not some ****** app that gets even less numbers. Right?

Only DAZN before the pandemic had nearly 1 Mill customers in the US. Nah, it's all lies from a pathological liar in Hearn. I can't find those lies we keep on talking about, but i'm sure they'll turn up sooner or later. Maybe. Haha.

Don't get it twisted, Hearn sucks too and doesn't understand the American market.

But at least he has the excuse that he isn't from here.

Boxing does seem to nearing the end of the line in the US. Canelo Crawford Spence Fury Wilder Gervonta Davis Ramirez (in Central Valley) are draws in the US. That's about it.

That card was so good even Burgos was a soldier that night

[Bob Haymon]

Better than I expected but they have some really weak cards coming up that will do similar or worse numbers. It's hard to see Charlo vs. Montiel getting 300k viewers. The purses are also way too high for these kind of ratings. They spent over $1 million on the entire Nery-Figueroa card. Showtime will get even smaller returns on the Charlo card since I assume the purses will be significantly higher.

This was an excellent card however the numbers were a bit disappointing.

PBC sucks at helping to create stars.

They all suck.

How many stars are being built on DAZN?

Ramirez and Taylor are fighting for undisputed this week, and it has to be on regular ESPN, because nobody knows who they are.

There are no stars, because boxing just isn't popular anymore. We can argue why all day, but if showtime, who only has a 20% marketshare of households in the US is the only premium cable network willing to invest in the sport, your problems run deeper than PBC.

Their loss, not ours! I enjoyed the card! Every fighter brought the heat and left nothing to the imagination!
