Alexander vs. Bradley did ok numbers not spectacular but maybe it was better then numbers weren't huge since the fight was very underwhelming.

The FNF numbers have been very impressive, last year the highest live ratings.


7/16/2010 - ESPN2 FNF - 625,000 live viewers

It was when Judah fought, and I haven't seen anything in the 700k range in a few years. Another big card from a year and a half ago.

8-28-2009 - ESPN - Friday Night Fights - Juan Urango vs. Randall Bailey - Cloud vs. Woods - 556,000 Live Viewers

So it's good news that we might be getting a few more casuals who tune into FNF's.

That's awesome in 2 of the first 3 shows of the year the ratings were better than last years best. Hope we see some 7 figure nights this year.

Is ESPN3 what gave Boxing a bigger budget on ESPN this year? I think Sergio Mora is going to do better ratings than Manfredo on Friday. He is coming off a high profile fight with Mosley and I know ESPN will be pusing that.

That's a good jump for ESPN, I really would love to know what the cause for it is.

Because their fights drew higher ratings than Zab. I don't think it can just be explained by "bigger names".

FNF's is a great show. The boxing news alone makes it a great package as well as quality matches.
