How do they factor in the people that watched on the app?

Davis thinks he is a PPV star in the making pulling numbers like that.

Drop from Broner ratings last year against Mikey but close to what he drew against Granados.

Mikey Garcia vs. Adrien Broner 881K
Adrien Broner vs. Adrian Granados 779K

Also shows nobody really cared about the Charlo and Davis fights. Ratings low for them then spike for Broner.

Is that good or bad number for murica?

Not bad. AB can still pull em as much as I wish he’d go away.

Nearly half of the ticket sales weee from B-more. Tank pulls a crowd.

Not surprising that Broner did better with Mikey Garcia. Jessie Vargas just isn’t a viable B-side.

I think the Super Fly Card did more than that........or close.

A bit surprised he didn't match the Garcia numbers...Vargas obviously isn't as big a draw, but he is a name and the undercard was stacked...I don't think these numbers will encourage Showtime to stack cards in the future.

I don't know how anyone can verify that Tank sold half the ticket sales. Until someone has proof of that claim I will assume Broner sold the tickets just like Broner is the one fans tuned in to see on TV. Despite having a big draw like Broner on the TV card as a lead in but STILL almost half didn't turn on the TV until after Davis fight.
