Nice numbers for the type of fight was without a strong lead-in.

Stevenson has to make the next appearance count though. Can't have too many of these types of performances against overmatched opponents.

He'll have plenty of those, TR often moves guys at the pace of a snail.

I mean he's getting a lot more main event showcases than most fighters his age. He's already been a champion and now will likely fight for his second title vs Herring. Regardless of the opponents he faces, he needs to have better performances than the one he had last Saturday night.

I wonder when those numbers peaked and what the numbers were in say the main event ring walk and round 1 compared to say round 7 when people probably started turning their TVs off...

No surprise here, it was just so much going on Saturday that I missed rounds live, I did not tune in Live until like the Round 7

NBA Playoffs, UFC Card, Youtube vs TikTok Event so yeah Boxing will always take a Backseat sadly but Decent Numbers I guess FOR BOXING

Good numbers, but it’s a damn shame all those people tuned in to possibly the worst main event of the year on ESPN, FOX, and Showtime. They are going to have to be careful with matchmaking with him in the future. He’s going to have to fight people who are going to come after him and force him to fight because that fight was horribly boring

Peak audience was towards the end of the fight and the average was higher than the prior fight so a good amount of people stayed to watch until the end.

Those people probably wont be tuning in again. Good numbers though for pretty much no promotion.
