They're horrible numbers. Porter did better against Paulie, and the people who watched that fight should have stuck around. A lot of them leaving is bad.

By standard, yes, they are bad numbers. But when considering who was fighting, I dont think they're too bad. It takes two to tango and Paulie is a known name.

Black fighters don't sell.

I've said for years, the black fan base is non existent, and there mostly all bandwagon fans anyway. These dudes aint loyal.

Where all them broner fans go?

why do all the biggest ppv fights in history have black fighters in them, if there is no black fan base?

You guys are a joke. When Floyd holds for dear. life while looking at the ref with a poopy face, he is called a defensive wizard & the sweet scientist. Bika 700k. Really. Al Haymon is killing boxing, if Bika gets 700k, Ward won't fight for less than for 3mill. Where's the Bika fan base.

bika got paid 700k for what he did saturday????//

Most americans have no idea who kell brook is, or how much of a monster Shawn Porter is. Only real boxing fans know.

I figured this would be the number for the danny/salka fight.

Fans know and like Danny and watched. Fans don't really know Porter and didn't know Brook.

You would think the better fights would have more viewers.

People know who Garcia is. Garcia is the guy that knocked Khan out silly in 4 rounds.

Nobody talks about Shawn Porter, and nobody knows Kell brook.

**** I don't even know Kell Brook. I thought he was just another slow stiff european fighter.

Terrible Ratings! Going into Saturday it was a card for the hardcore boxing fans but others and casuals probably had NO CLUE who those fighters was and turned to Preseason American Football

The overall public in America only really know Mayweather and Pacquaio.

Your point doesn't make any sense but that's not unusual.

the boxing public doesn't know who porter is. the hardcore crowd knows who he is but never really took to him probably because of his ugly style which = bad ratings.

for you to say that he was "over hyped in america" is a bold statement & a total joke...........

I wrote on here Bika/Dirrell killed the casual fans

I'm Happy For Brook But That Fight Card Top To Bottom ******!

Even as physical as the Brook-Porter fight was, it wasn't that entertaining due to the fact, Porter's style of smothering his opponents where neither really get off clean combinations is a very awkward, painful style to watch. But I'm pretty confident if you get Brook in front of a Guerrero or Thurman or Danny Garcia or a Matthysee, or a Marquez, you get one helluva, straight up, serious controlled fight, and then you really see how well Brook competes. Tough to really enjoy Brook's talent in that Porter fight.
