Comments Thread For: Santa Cruz-Mares A Huge Ratings Hit For PBC on ESPN

Why?

Oh so you can cheer and say "hell yeah its low. I didnt watch cause im a boxing fan that doesnt want to watch boxing. I just want the glamor of the sport cause im real"

Keep hoping. That way you can continue this cycle of "well next week will suck" or just hold out for an HBO show. Next one is in Oct.

Ill watch the 8 from PBC in september

I'm a boxing fan, but I don't need to see Quillen fight a stripper or Wilder fight a nobody. Put good fights on and I'll watch, just like lots of people did last Saturday night.

I'm an adult, I don't root for networks or promoters or managers like the majority of guys posting here. I want to watch compelling fights, not garbage.
Looking at the next batch of PBC fights coming up, they are garbage matchups. I don't care if they're free, my time is not.

Thats ok. Ill wait to see your response to a fight you didnt see.

You'll be waiting a long time then. I don't chime in on fights I haven't seen. If one turns out to be a great fight like the Huck fight, I'll go back and watch it after the fact.

Yet, you'll spend time to post stuff like that on a forum. Don't overstate the value of your time...
I'll watch Wilder and Quillen, even on nights when they're getting a free pass, just as I've watched every Golovkin fight, or the last Kovalev one against the pizza guy. I love boxing.

Good for you. I'll also watch GGG and Kovalev. It's because they're entertaining. Quillen is not even close to being that. Add on he's fighting a nobody,stripper, and I think I'll pass,thanks. Wilder I may watch if I'm around that day/night.
Quantity is not better then quality in my book. There's a reason Saturday's fight did good ratings, it was a good, quality matchup.

Damn right!!! Nothing screams quality like a GGG matchup

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Great... I'm glad it got ratings, and shows that if you put on big time fights, people will tune,,.

Make garcia-khan 2, or Maidana-danny, something like that, and I think the ratings would go even higher..

[wlliam]

Good match up= Good ratings
Who wouldve thought that this was a good formula?? Hopefully Haymon picks up on that trend bcuz it looked like he didnt knw wtf he was doing there for a little while...now we can add LSCMares up there with PorterBroner as good fights PBC has produced..what does that make it? 2 good matchups out of 50-60? Ill throw in HuckGlowacki..3

[sicko]

No surprise really, it was a big fight and a Good Fight so it deserves to be a ratings hit! Fans will show up if it is a match up they want to see!

Yet the momentum gets ruined by **** match ups from Quillin and Wilder

[Porter's Dad]

That was a fantastic fight and event. It had a big-time feel.
