Dat ass DOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah! That's the first thing I noticed. I'm like damn! That's the ring card girl I need to see every fight.

Arum appears to have brokered a truce with the court case. Great news, AB vs Pac is a damn good fight. Hopefully Vargas gets a unification afterwards too.

It already was below golf and hockey. That being said, 2 million viewers is a terrible rating for this fight. They need 4mil ++ there is almost no hype except us hardcore fans and it is a dam good fight.

I was listening to ESPN Radio the other day and they were going to play tape recorded interviews of Thurman and Porter but then said they were bumping them to the next day because Derrick Rose got traded and they were bringing in local guys to talk about that trade.

Consider that Canelo had well over a 2million average when he fought Kirkland on HBO with less than 2/3 the potential homes for the audience. This fight with so many more homes should double that

Their inactivity also didnt help. Thought it was pretty ****** to keep porter on the shelf since his ab win who went on to fight for a title right after

It still seems weird hearing Arum hyping PBC **** & dogging GBP ****.

agreed. He had momentum and it just stalled. Same thing with a lot of guys. I just hope its a good fight.

It makes sense. Haymon gave Top Rank various dates on PBC as part of their settlement. Now he has a vested interest.

Yeah again the numbers should come back BIG it will be no excuses but my expectations are no high because I just don't think people care about boxing anymore. Not about HBO, Not about PBC I think the sport in General is just in a very bad space right now and it is going to take some time for boxing IN GENERAL to Crawl out of that deep dark hole
