Eh, no need to argue. We'll find out in 2 days.
This is arguably the best fight PBC has ever put on. The ratings should be through the roof. When Thurman faced Guerrero, PBC did 3.4m viewers. I expect the same amount for this card.

White americans dont watch boxing cuz they cant relate
Where are the white american boxers? Like in any division, theres next to none which is pretty pathetic.
Theyre all in the UFC, so its no wonder North america are gravitating to UFC. If they could even produce one half decent boxer in any weightclass above Superfeatherweight he could attract a lot more casuals, like Kelly Pavlik did.

If it's not Mayweather or Pacquaio people just don't know or care about it. I don't blame HBO- showtime-PBC for cutting budgets and bad ratings, boxing is just a dead sport and I don't see how anything short of a Tyson type character coming along will change it...
PBC will probably be gone when the money dries up, HBO can't afford to pay for big fights now so everything is going to PPV, showtime lost half its viewers from 2 years ago...Why can't the sport gain any traction with the younger audience? Is it only close to 40 guys like me and older that Keep boxing alive? And of course Mexicans lol...
Everyone in boxing especially the boxers are to blame.

It's so difficult to follow. Scoring fights is confusing, the cards are on 45 different channels and there's 400 champions. Cornelius K9 Bundrage is a 2x world champion.
It's funny. My 12 year old cousin watches boxing with me and asked me one day "why are all the boxers undefeated?"

Yeah no one knows Thurman or Porter..they are names to real boxing fans but not to the casual fan. UFC is huge, Boxing became to corrupt with all the alphabet organizations and rip off PPV prices. Me personally cant wait to see this fight happen, they are both at there peak..its going to be a great fight. I like Porter in this one.

The same hardcore boxing fans that hate on everything PBC on twitter don't know WTF is going on outside their twitter bubble. Boxing fans and boxing twitter media don't realize how insignificant they are to the national scene
the buzz for thurman porter on twitter might be ehh but good amount of national media here at this presser
