    No reason why Mikey vs Easter can't happen now. Both are available and are both PBC/SHO fighters. What is the excuse this time? Who is ducking who?

          Every single Bounce boxing telecast has been reported with ridiculously good ratings. Better than the ESPN and Spike cards. I just don't buy it. There must be tomfoolery going on here.

            These numbers are:

            1. Not surprising. Bounce is only bundled on basic cable/TV in urban markets with large African American audiences.

            2. PBC gives Bounce it's highest ratings. Which is why it pays PBC for their cards.

            3. Recently read an article about cable TV ratings in the Wall Street journal. (The article was about Viacom and its decision to focus on six channels; there is an infographic that ranks channels by average viewers). It showed that boxing much like other sports do remarkably good ratings for cable channels. (Even ESPN) For example, the average numbers of viewers on Spike (and many other channels) is lower than what PBC averages on the station. Which explains why they pay PBC a fee as well.

              The Number would be higher if people could actually FIND that damn Network without having to pull out Rabbit Ears Antennas just to find it lol But it was a Solid Card!

                Good numbers for Mr. Easter. He's developing a good fan base for himself.

                His skills are developing nicely. He's a match up problem for this division.

                    I recall a FB stream? for one of Tank's fights (maybe not FB, but there was definitely a stream)

                      What was the excuse last time? I don't recall this fight being discussed until they both fought this last time
