[JakeNDaBox]

The staff at ESPN was so thrilled with the outcome of Saturday's edition of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC), that additional time will be dedicated this week to relive the glory.

Leo Santa Cruz picked up a career-best win with a 12-round majority decision over Abner Mares last weekend at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Calif. The telecast generated an average of 1.217 million viewers, peaking at 1.671 million. Both numbers serve as the highest rated boxing event on any ESPN station since 1998.

With the main event landing as a Fight of the Year contender, ESPN has dubbed the fight an "instant classic." As such, ESPN2 will offer the first exclusive rebroadcast Tuesday evening at 9:00 p.m. ET. [Click Here To Read More]
