    Comments Thread For: Crawford-Benavidez Does Big Ratings For ESPN

    Last night's Top Rank on ESPN (10:25 p.m. ET to 12:36 a.m. ET) scored three major victories. The overall event delivered a 1.6 metered market rating according to Nielsen, making it the highest-rated boxing telecast in 2018 across all broadcast and cable networks. The main event, featuring Terence Crawford (34-0, 25 KOs) vs. Jose Benavidez, Jr. (27-1, 18 KOs), averaged a 1.8 metered market, making it making it the year's highest-rated Top Rank bout and main event on ESPN. It was an electric, full house at the CHI Health Center in Omaha, as hometown favorite Terence "Bud" Crawford, defeated Benavidez Jr. by 12th-round TKO to defend his WBO welterweight world title.

            Crawford will stay in house fighting bums. The real competition is with Al Haymon.

              That was mostly Benavidez, he carried the promotion and had the Chicano/Mexican fanbase watching.

                America is home to the 3 biggest Superstars ever in boxing

                Ali
                Tyson
                Mayweather

                The myth that Black people or Americans don’t support boxing has always been a myth even Schaefer put that myth to rest

                  Actually I think its being looked over that the opponent was Mexican or a chicano anyway. The fact it did 80% better numbers than Bud vs Indongo gives it away.

                  If you build fights with Mexicans they will come.

                  But if Bud can continue with these sorta numbers vs these Russian or Soviet state guys (no clue where these guys are from exactly off the top of my head) that Arum is gonna be throwing at him fair play.

                    Wrong lol you Mexicans really think you are the only ones to support boxing. It was way more Americans in the crowd. Not to make this an American vs Mexican thing but you are not the only ones who support boxing. Anthony Joshua is the biggest star in the sport how many Mexicans are in the UK watching him?
