I'm no Nielsen Ratings Expert but those seem like decent numbers.

They are decent considering it wasn't that huge of an event the undercard wasn't that great just a bunch of showcase fights for relatives of legends that might be another reason for the numbers as well.

Man I hope the Nico Ali Walsh thing isn't a major reason for the decent numbers (although it wouldn't surprise me). I have nothing against the grandson but I'd rather it be because people wanted to see a title fight between two rated fighters.

Overall it was a pretty painful card to watch.

The main event would've averaged higher ratings had it one not started so late and 2 not had over 40 mins in between bouts

Looks like an all around win for the kid. Not a fan but he has some serious skill. He doesn't have that Mayweather bravado, lays it on too thick too soon for my liking.

Nico Ali has a good right hand good placement and technique but his defense is terrible. I agree though it would be nice for more interest to be shown towards the champions regardless of their popularity.

Good stuff indeed.

Or apps like Hulu, YouTube tv, etc etc. The real number may be twice that for all we know or more
