How many views will ESPN get for Pacquiao vs Horn fight this coming Saturday 9PM ET?

[SceneBoxer]

Somewhere around 23 million

This is somewhere near the level of an NBA Finals game viewership. If it can reach 20 million viewers then it's very good result for boxing.

[Raonic]

Probably like 5 million. People will watch but probably will be too bored once they see that Horn is nothing.

[mathed]

5 million easy

[jas]

Depends on how much they advertise the fight on ESPN on fight week

If Jeep can score a KD then viewership will spike to 20 million

Free always does well, they knew nobody would buy this so they made it free that's good.

Actually, Top Rank struck a deal with ESPN to feature more of their fighters on ESPN and this is their first showcase fight with the partnership. Basically using Pacquiao has the introduction to their new partnership.

If anything, it's real smart on Top Rank and ESPN to get a big named fighter to showcase their new partnership and see if they can bring a new quality to ESPN's fights that was never there before.

Joe Horn? lol Steven A cant even get the guys name right

I don't think a lot because a lot of casual fans only want to watch clean fighters and since this fight doesn't have PED testing it's hard to know if you are watching clean fighters.

Casual fans don't give a ***** about PEDS testing. Dunn you are a better poster than this. I am starting to think someone stole your Identity.
