Al Haymon's complexion.

They'd never admit it but their excuses don't make me think otherwise.

I never saw fans of any other sport whine about the athletes getting paid better, getting the chance to have more viewers, and lastly having it on network tv instead of premium

they are not real boxing fans man

That's quite a spin to point out 3rd most watched sports program. In the overall cable ratings, it was number 90 out of the top 100 programs on that night.

Looks like the number listing is due to the 18-49 demo being low.

If you look at the website I posted you'll notice they only track sports.....

Not giving a *** about Ratings. I enjoyed the Card

^^^^^^Agree with this

Shame there are so called "boxing fans" out there thinking "can't wait to see how many people i don't know watched"

They used moan about how harsh fighters are treated and underpaid....enter Al Haymon...the same people are now crying about how good their pay is.

who has put on better fights than PBC this year to date??????

PBC has fight cards all the time. They've had some great fights, some bad fights, upsets, predictable fights, etc....

It is concerning that they can't get decent ratings considering the amount of money that was poured into it. I don't think ratings are everything. Having low ratings just happens sometimes, for several reasons, and sometimes randomly. But they should have made some progress in that area by now.

Even the Haymon nutriders will admit the PBC has made several mistakes...but unfortunately, the bottom line may be that boxing is just not a popular sport in the United States and no amount of money can change that. We will see.

So spending no money to promote the sport will make it more popular? The only way to get out of shooting slump is to shoot.

I applaud the effort. I'm just saying it is a very difficult thing to achieve...maybe impossible. As someone who works with investors, I am shocked that they were able to get funded so well. That was the biggest success in all of this.
