Agreed...main event was only mismatch of 3 boutsLOL
I think that it got very good ratings because of the good fights that were part of the card. Folks on social media got word of the Breazeale KO win and then more tuned in to see that Hurd-Harrison fight, which ended in another KO. Washington's good start kept people watching.Comment

PPV is increasingly a tough sale in the states. They are much more expensive in the US vs the UK ($60) and streaming has really hurt. So free TV is prob the future for boxingComment

Some of the non-PPV fight numbers have been woeful..
It isnt just PPV, it's the fact that boxing simply doesnt get the promotion it deserves over in the states alot of the time.Comment

This is true.
Also UFC gets paid to televise their events on fox.
PBC pays millions to fox to televise their events.
So yeah, these numbers are crap once you consider that part, there is still no money being made during these PBC events, these events are a complete loss.Comment
