1,270,000 vs. 389,000.
Only did 30% of the ratings.
Fastest growing sport did great and Boxing did horrible as usual with the TV execs that post here.

Guys give it a break, the ratings are ok. The business plan might be questionable but who gives a ****.
Also, the fight was on CBS in Canada too. First time I was able to see a Canadian boxer on regular TV, or since Bute back in 2007.

That's why I hope this experiment with free TV is successful, because there should be no reason why boxing champs especially with adonis' style shouldn't be huge stars on par with ufc counterparts..
The reason boxing can't get away Monthly PPVs is the fan-base burned out a long time ago getting ****d by greedy promoters. We have almost a century of paying for biggest fights and several decades we've had to pay just to see any boxing.
Look at Arum, there's a reason he isn't doing his crappy Latin Fury's and Pinoy Powers anymore, the people stopped buying. UFC fans are just reaching their first decade but they also aren't buying every crappy PPV like a few years ago.
The same has happened to everyone, the WWE was killing it for awhile then the bottom also dropped out. They have evolved into a more fan friendly option imo.
Haymon also evolved.
If you go back to 2006 almost every year the top rating for the year has been dropping.
6/17/2006 Winky Wright vs Jermain Taylor - 3.5 million live viewers
2014 Chavez vs. Vera did about 1.4 million and that was the highest ratings for the whole year anywhere in the US for Boxing.
If Haymon didn't take this gamble I can only imagine how long before the top rating for the year didn't even break the 1 million mark.

What is FS1's normal Saturday afternoon audience?
What is CBS's?
