Not even a million on a non ppv? That's bad

Surprisingly good, considering UFC 214 was on the same night. Broner is definitely a popular fighter, so he can still make great paydays despite the loss.

Showtime gets big numbers (at least for Showtime) when Broner fights. Their 2 biggest fights of the year have been Broner-Garcia and Broner-Granados, by far.

Imagine how popular boxing would be if every single fighter acted a fool and ran their mouth like Broner.

Any numbers for the Golden Boy cards on ESPN?

Great ratings like they always are for every broner fight..... Broner holds ratings records on showtime and spike tv.... So these are not good ratings they are great ratings.... Jon jones vs dc was on the same night and that did 1 million plus ppv also....

Good exposure for Garcia

most fighters cant even put 2 sentences together! Forget acting a fool..... Most these guys act like doing interviews is a burden.... Ward and kovalev are prime examples

Great numbers. I doubt UFC 214 broke 600K on the same night. Slow death to the "UFC taking over boxing" narrative..
