Great ratings and a great show!!! Couldn’t ask for more other than removing Broner’s crazy post fight rant.

Mexican America black people love you and chicken and rice is a great combination in every f’ing culture. I have eaten it in many and haven’t been let down yet as it’s as universal as water and sunlight. This probably should go to the Puerto Rican and Dominican NY audience members Broner was actually referring to....��

Martin Luther King was a great man who was not a victim of a memorable beating... AB? WTF ����*♂️

Jim Gray is classy for not cracking Broner with that Mic for trying to snatch it and killing the whole interview.��

thats okay for B2 fightes 😁

Factor in it was a Saturday night. People were out clubbing.

Every single time theres one of these threads people are going on about whats on the over channel, someone will find something. "Joshua only sold 1mil PPVs, X Factor was on the other channel"

If I'm Showtime I don't make Broner vs Vargas rematch. I put Broner in 1 by 1 with every good fighter I have at and around 147. Start passing Broner around like a 2 dollar h0e let him lose 1 by 1 to Danny Garcia, Errol Spence, Keith Thurman ect. And hope Broners ratings rub off on these guys. Don't waste it on Vargas. they have to find a way to bottle this up and transfer it to an actual good fighter LMAO

what? Broner's resume is solid as it gets. He's fought good comp at the lower weights and tough guys as he moved up. Now we can argue if he didn't get some favorable scores from judges, but he fought good quality comp.

Fair enough lol I won't split hairs

[HURTFEELINGS]

Now is the time to take advantage of this situation, by putting him in there vs Thurman, for Thurmans comeback fight. It will draw great numbers or vs Khan. I think both beat him, and then you have the rematch vs Vargas.

Showtime buys the fights, they don’t make ‘em.

But I hear you. I don’t really want the Broner-Vargas rematch either. Maybe Broner-Figueroa. Or get Thurman in the mix.

Huh?? dude is 25-0 below 130 and 8-3-1 above 130. He may not have a "signature" win but that is just BS some NSB posters have come up with. He has a solid resume and has fought tough and brave in his losses.

He draws fans at the gate and on TV, that is why he makes the paydays he does.

He draws fans for non boxing related reasons. That's why he's Showtime's biggest attraction aside from Wilder. Broner making constant headlines on Worldstar has benefited his career more than anything he's done in the ring. He has a "solid" resume? don't know what that means cuz he loses to anybody that's considered a step above average. His fabricated beef with that rapper had a bigger impact on those ratings than Vargas being his opponent.

"Tough and brave" in his losses? disagree there too. He was a literal punching bag for Mikey. And Porter bullied him all over the ring like a stepchild. Tough and brave in losses would better describe Vargas who gave Pacquiao a tough scrap and almost knocked Bradley out. Broner was tough and brave vs Maidana though I give him that.

Worldstar and being a known name in the Hip Hop world has done more for him than any fight he's won in a ring. Broner is more known than Crawford and Spence combined. And it's not due to boxing.
