Its not free like FOX or CBS, or even ESPN is. It's a premium channel that costs an extra $15 a month to have..

yeah, and ppv ufc events is not free either.

No ***** sherlock, if you really think UFC 214 did 1mm buys you're high.

millions on promoting? Care to explain? So mikey/broner promotion only cost a penny? Once again a free fight ob tv didnt crack a mil.

you cant be this ******? Jones vs dc was promoted on major websites and platforms! Of course they spent millions on a event that they thought would bring in close to 50 to 70 million back genius..... Broner vs mikey was only promoted on sites like boxgingscene and fox sports maybe once or twice! That doesnt cost much.....

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

Probably 700k

Watched this fight last night. My god that was the worst performance I've ever seen Broner give. He literally does not have the focus or conviction to compete any where near the level he was at last night. The guy needs a ****ing seismic shakeup in his life, perspective, team, everythingggg! I saw what his problem was last night. It's that as much he has learned in mastered at an early age, he clearly put a fork in his boxing craft thinking he'd mastered all there is to master. To be something like Mikey or Floyd you have to live a life intimately involved in your boxing craft. Not a delusional man child thinking every move you make in the ring is a stroke of artistic brilliance. Mikey co-opted a style utilizing every asset and technical ability that can be mustered for a 12 round fight. Broner was a pretender with literally his only path to victory being Garcia making mistakes leading to him crashing and burning

There's no denying Broner is very talented and can still become a P4P star in my opinion, but you're right, he needs a change. It seems like he runs his own camps and thinks his skills and talent is enough to overcome any style he faces. he needs a trainer that won't put up with his **** and that'd break the bad habits that he has. Only then will he have another breakthrough in his career compete at the highest level.

Non title fight, not too bad.

I'm a fan of both fighters but honestly Broner carried the card through and through. No one really knows Mikey Garcia outside of hardcore fans.
