Imagine if haymon wouldnt have ruined the fox deal and it would have been on fox!

I don’t know the details on how Haymon ruined the fox deal…. But I’m sure the viewership would’ve been more like 1,500,000!!!!

not everyone has showtime… and of course those numbers don’t count the people that streamed it illegally.

I'm glad all of those viewers got to see a good fight and a good performance.

I was at the fight. Crowd was rockin! Hopefully they continue to hold more big fights like that here in Carson. Pretty convenient it's just a 10min drive from my house lol.

Since I have that idiot on ignore I didn’t see his comment but you nailed it. Watching established apps like showtime, ESPN+, Amazon, hulu etc etc is. It the same as watching an app that has proven to be a shambles even though the BF/EDL nationalists demanded Americans buy it

I don’t really know who he is, but here’s his comment. Not particularly controversial, mind


‘.. wait we were told no one in America watched on apps ..

If you look they account for additional streaming numbers, apps normally count as streaming .’

Hell of a fight. Castano will be a problem for anybody going forward at 154

I know for as a matter of fact that Showtime streamed this fight for viewers on their YouTube channel for free who lived in locations outside of the U.S. and over seas like the U.K.

Agreed! As quality fights are concerned; Showtime are really putting out the best cards out there. ESPN and Top Rank has a roster full of unknowns whose bouts air too late in the U.S. on Saturdays because they are competing against other sports. Top Rank needs its own independent channel to telecast their bouts.ESPN + sucks.

Also, yes this fight with Charlo vs Castano II was a pay per view worthy event. It had an awful lot of back and forth action in it.
