Bull****. The UFC on FOX fight was their lowest watched on FOX. I hate when UFC fan boys try hijack threads with this nonsense. Do you have any idea how far the UFC have fallen? Nobody watches it anymore.

I'm susprised anyone watched it in the first place, absolutely bored me to tears any time i gave it a chance, hopefully a flash in the pan and people will realise how poor it is compared to Boxing

ya right you kidding me this guy brings more emotion out of fans good or bad then any boxer i have ever seen. Got feeling people will tune in hoping to see him lose again and if he can win hes right back where he was as long as its maidana

He got his ass whooped, now the few people who cared to watch in the first place got what they wanted to see and wont give a damn about the next midget fight Broner takes part in.

nobody shows boxing as much now, I hear the same thing lol for whatever reason they hate on boxing

It's expensive to show. A lot of bars around here that USED to show it sort of cheated the system, and got their license for it revoked. You have to buy a PPV for every tv....they'd buy one and put it on all....caught up to them. Free TV stuff will get shown over it...though UFC is falling fast sadly. I don't hate UFC I enjoy combat sports, though the fans are sort of on par with Floyd/Pac/Crossfit fanatics.

no matter what good someone does there will be someone to downplay it. Good #'s. A rematch would do even better #s for sure. if they are smart they will sign it right away while it's fresh in peoples memories.

Man Pacroid can't pull in those numbers and if his fight with Rios would have been free he may have gotten 488k max...... He's never been a guy I followed because as a loyal American I support those fighter be it black or white. Unlike those of you who claim to love this country but trash any American who represent this country in the ring especially if that person is black. So waste your dollars on a guy who will eventually end up in jail because there's no way he's getting away with owing my fellow countryman that $18mil. The IRS will see to that you can count on it........Now speaking about free fights looks like your steroid hero will be fighting for free pretty soon, so we'll just see about those numbers. ......

Racism can't change the fact that there are many non-American boxers now who are wayyyyy more entertaining to watch.

It wasn't PPV, and much like Floyd people tune into to see him lose. Now that the mystique of that is over that will change.

Not to mention it was an AWESOME card with s lot of exciting fighters. I was excited about, Maidana,Thurman,and Leo. Beibut was a bonus

Cotto-Trout, 1.4 million; Broner-Malignaggi, 1.3 million; Canelo-Trout 1.2 million and Canelo-Josesit Lopez 1.04 million. But Broner vs Reese did 1.4 on HBO if this fight would of been on HBO it probably would of done about 1.8

[thuggery]

I was expecting a lot more...

It was supposed to be a PPV card.
