    For Showtime they're okay numbers. Borner didn't draw quite as many viewers as he did when he faced Mikey, which isn't a surprise considering he lost that fight.

    Seems like Charlo and Davis on the undercard didn't move the needle at all.

      These are really good numbers for Broner despite a BAD loss to Mikey still drew basically what he drew last year with Granados. Compare this to what Danny Garcia (516K) and Spence (637K) did as well as the Lara/Hurd fight (490K).

      Now imagine if Broner could actually win these fights lol

      This tells me Broner even as a train wreck still draws fans. Disappointing numbers for Tank and Charlo. You have a great headline lead in and fans literally skipped their fights and just showed up on TV to watch Broner. Charlo fight on the Mikey Garcia/Broner undercard and drew virtually the same ratings. Charlo vs Heiland did 500K viewers. Just like last time fans huge spike to watch Broner vs Garcia with only half watching the Charlo fight.

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.
          There is a way. Of course, that depends on how they buy them...but there is a way. And the optics reflect it. Venue was nearly full when Tank fought.

            THIS ^^^ Look at the previous showtime card

            Main Event Lara/Hurd - 490K
            Co-Main DeGale/Truax - 469K

            Very little drop off. Most fans tuned in to see the entire card. Here big drop off with large percent of fans only showing up to see Broner fight.

              Maybe but we need to see something concrete to verify that. Maybe he did sell half the tickets but it sure didn't translate in TV viewers. A whole lot of fans skipped his fight. And those claims about only fighting Loma if it's on PPV sounds foolish today. Loma pulls much better TV viewers and he ain't a PPV fighter either. Tank fighting on undercards and still his ratings are not impressive. Causal fans not showing up to watch his fights even when you pair him up with Broner is not a good look.

                Does the app still work? I have a friend who logs into my account to watch fights and he said it was unavailable Saturday. Maybe they were doing maintenance or whtever I don't know.

                  If you listened aftre Tank won, the crowd was very loud.

                  FWIW, they configured the arena for 10k fans and more than 13k showed up so they had to open spots.

                  Someone brought some fans and frankly Baltimore is a lot closer than Cincy or Houston.

                      What was the announced attendance last weekend compared to Broners previous fights in brooklyn? That would help make the argument that Davis brought in extra fans. I doubt Charlo brought any fans. Good call by Haymon putting the Davis fight first. Because if what ya'll say is true if you put Charlo fight first that might of been an empty arena to start the telecast.
