he imo would easily crush these ratings

Originally posted by PACnPBFsuck View PostPacquiao on cable TV, obviously gonna get good ratings. The real question is, will people watch when Crawford and Lomachenko fight on ESPN, if they get similar numbers, then that's impressive, Pacquiao getting good numbers on ESPN is not impressive.
The question is, how much less will the numbers be? Half of Pacquiao-Horn?
And if they're significantly lower, does how much does ESPN pull back from their promotion of these cards?
I think it's already been said that some of these cards will move to Friday once football season starts....so the ESPN hype machine figures to diminish a bit once that happens.

Where did you get your info that it peaked during the main event?
Like I said, the peak number can literally mean anything. 2m people could flipped to the channel at the same time and saw what was going on for 5 seconds and flipped away.

Originally posted by mathed View PostThat was my experience too. While watching the fight with two casual fans, they kept yelling at the TV for the ref to do something about Horn's cheating. When the scores were announced the both laughed and said WTF, "no wonder boxing isn't schit anymore, people don't want to watch fixed fights"
EXACT WORDS TOO. Even casuals know a fix when they see it

I wasn't sure when Pac was fighting and its like hes gonna fight in the morning? Seriously?
A no name bum and a faded Pac was able to pull in massive numbers, similar to a PPV UFC card with loaded fights on it??????
How can Boxing be dead?
