Nothing but excuses from Spence's 20 fans, .

Don't forget about the 300,000 million people that watched the fight on imaginary TVs in Africa!!!

Wait .. I thought Errol Spence fights draw 6+ million viewers on US TV?

I'm pretty sure the UK PPV numbers will be better than ST's. Not as good as when Kell fought Golovkin, of course. But then, GGG is an international super star, so that's understandable.

Spence-Bundu peaked at 6.34 million viewers. Thurman-Garcia peaked at 5.1 million viewers.

Should be pretty obvious why Haymon is determined to get boxing on network TV on a regular basis at some point . . .

it's too bad, it was a good fight. The fight just didn't spark enough casual interest. The good thing is, it's not a cause for alarm; Showtime is committed to boxing especially in the wake of less PBC on network cable, they're getting fights. Now if these were HBO numbers we'd have reason to worry because they're cutting down on the budget yearly, if you add numbers like this, boxing would have a shorter lifespan on HBO than previously imagined.

, pathetic!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Spence's "fans" don't watch his fight but they're quick to use his achievement as a trophy of their race.
Pathetic. "peeleft:.

This is what's wrong with boxing!
Who cares if people missed out on a good fight, I didn't. I watched it on FB and had a blast. You guys are why fighters price themselves out of fights! I don't give af how much they get paid, as long as I see great fights. I've never heard NBA, NFL, or any other sports bragging how much the players get paid or how many views their team gets compared to the other teams.

That's probably what it's going to take to bring the sport back to life in the States.

What did you expect?
It was on Showtime @ 5 in the afternoon.

If this was on CBS like last time it would have done better numbers. Anyone know how many people in the UK saw the fight?

Damn......that's weak
