Don't they chop your penis off for that in the Islamic world?

Dunno, I'm not from the ****** part of Lebanon (and I'm non-religious), but they definitely have some good ideas.

Sounds like you got turned on. Don't they chop your penis off for that in the Islamic world?

Almost half of Lebanon's population is Christian.

I'm glad that this was ESPN's highest rated boxing telecast in more than a decade, but the number is disappointing to me. HBO and SHO telecasts often do more than 964K viewers and those are pay/subscription cable channels. This was on ESPN, a basic cable channel, and they weren't able to draw 1M for a heavyweight title fight with a Mexican-American? Man, I was honestly hoping to see a rating like 5M. I guess I was clueless. They need to advertise more next time.

Great to hear. After the Wlad ratings I was concerned. The production wasn't stellar, but we can only hope ESPN commits more to boxing.

Cable tv doesn't get 5m viewers unless something is a huge event or really popular show.

Hell most Netwrk channels don't get 5m on a regular basis.

You have to remember this is cable tv, and the 0.8 share tells us nothing about the viewers. The lowest 0.8 rating I have seen is 1.35m. Its the 18-49 rating which apparently channels treasure the most. 0.8 on a Saturday will put it between the 6th-8th highest rated cable show of the day.

ESPN never gets huge ratings unless the are showing a big game of some sort. I checked the last two Saturdays and they werent even ranked in that time slot.
