Uhhh....wouldn't it be pretty easy to see the ESPN+ viewership? As it is their app??

Makes very little sense. Especially as so many people have gotten rid of cable and satellite and use Roku and other streamers. I haven't had cable or satellite for three frickin years.

I bought ESPN+ just for boxing.

Don't get it.

It’s a few years now that they’ve been doing this Thursday fights
Another occasion is when Vegas is jammed for Heisman Trophy ceremony
They have boxing on the Thursday

A little perspective here folks. By way of comparison, in a country of more than 335 million people, Teofimo draws a paltry 0.5 million viewers, and Canelo in turn draws more than 15 million viewers on Mexican TV. Incidentally, the US population is 2 1/2 times larger than Mexico's. I don't believe Teofimo is as big of an attraction as he and his father think.

I used to work in streaming video. Not only can you see the count of people as they join, you can run a report afterwards to see all kinds of statistics. This was standard on every platform I ever used. Not only do they know how many people joined, they know what area of the country they joined from, etc, etc.

NO the lousy fights on the screen thru everyone off actually my TV turned itself off on its own. Now that is bad very bad. But on a serious note (?) what have they done to boxing ? What do they have to do to see how sad boxing has become as a sport to be followed i mean every week we are kicking the dog every week it is a sad commentary on the state of boxing. Here is another sad state of boxing Anaguchi died last week OK ? OK ? It was as if it did not happen it was as if no writer had the words or the sense to report on it pontificate on that fact for a while huh ? I remember when someone died in the ring there was outrage disgust an act of congress was conveined to do something about it. What the men who enter the ring sacrifice to the people who love the sport and we get all this attention to a clown and a ballroom dancer. Sorry for getting serious for a mintue here but those that write have no heart or guts for the real stories in boxing anymore, it is all about feeding what the promo boys want them to feed off of.....................sucking on the tit of money balls.
