I was watching but it was poorly promoted, ever since espn got ufc they have been under promoting the boxing.

I don’t see a lot of advertisement for boxing on ESPN either. Only for their ESPN + fights.

I see DAZN commercials a lot. I see advertisement for showtime fights.

And really, for boxing on basic cable and nationally broadcast TV, it needs a strong lead in to pull in numbers. This broadcast being on a Sunday evening didn’t help. When most people think of boxing, they tend to think of Friday and Saturday, not Sunday.

Ratings were excellent 3rd highest rated boxing show on cable TV of the year and that's on a Sunday afternoon great job done with the promotion team

Considering he was head butted in the same eye 4 times he spent the last 8 rounds with blood in his eye difficult to see clearly and fight your best... And still the referee had to save his opponent in the 12th round

Sucks man, I got a new house and moved to a new city and don't want to go back to Dish or DirecTV, and only have streaming services including ESPN+ and I really wanted to watch this fight but it was only on regular ESPN. I feel ESPN+ members should be able to view all boxing fights, specially this one since Jose isn't such a big name. I feel like canceling ESPN+ just over that.
