    Estrada/Figueroa should have been the main go, it was the bout of the night...

      he was heavily pumped by america doe..............
      The overall public in America only really know Mayweather and Pacquaio.

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

        The reason the fight never sold well in the UK is because due to the lack luster Audley"Fraudley"Harrison there is Hardly any money available to screen fights on terrestrial TV in the UK!

          Not really. Dirrell-Bika II was one of the worst championship fights this decade. Brook-Porter featured a hugger vs. an amateur.

          Name wise it was OK. I was pumped for Brook-Porter because of the US-UK angle, but apparently I was one of only a few.

                Nobody cared cause they didn't know who the hell kell brook was and after they watched him fight they probably care even less.

                  The average casual fan couldnt pick out who Brook and Porter was if they were both in a lineup with only 3 people.

                    I'm not really surprised that Garcia's ratings were better even though he fought Salka. Danny is one of the more popular non-PPV fighters. He's fought a lot of high profile fighters like Khan, Morales and Zab. Then he fought Matthysse on the 2nd biggest PPV card ever. People know who Danny Garcia is and evidently like to watch him fight even if the opponent is poor.

                    The card this past Saturday was clearly better though. All the fights were evenly matched. Brook/Porter and Bika/Dirrell didn't translate well but they were quality fights nonetheless.

                      Anyone know the UK viewer figures? I couldnt care less about US figures when theres a Khan-Brook fight on the horizon.
