Solid #'s for an ok card...I think Porter and Ugas will do even better numbers. Got some good fights on the horizon

1.37M viewers is definitely not good ratings. Prime Time network you should be avg over 2M viewers. According to Fat Boy Dan not only did it finish dead last for ANY programing on ANY of the Networks on Saturday night but dead last by more then 500K viewers.

The Premier Boxing Champions tripleheader on Fox on Saturday night at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, topped by featherweight titlist Leo Santa Cruz’s one-sided decision over Rafael Rivera, averaged 1.376 million viewers (1.75 million peak), according to Nielsen Media Research. The broadcast, which also included the Omar Figueroa-John Molina junior welterweight battle and junior middleweight prospect Sebastian Fundora against Donnie Marshall, was the night’s least-viewed prime time network show by more than 500,000 viewers. The main event averaged 1.671 million viewers. Of the three PBC on Fox cards since the deal began in December this was by far the least watched.

There's only so much Floyd and tank can do, we all know Mexicans and British fans are the best , stronger fans in the world, ..ex Andre ward was the best p4p fighter at some point and he couldn't even sell out an arena , they were literally giving away free tickets when he fought kovalev rematch, to me tank Davis is better than santa Cruz but the fans are the ones that make up the numbers

Fight would never happen but I agree Tank can beat Santa Cruz who is smaller of course. Better fundamentals? Probably. When it comes to competition LSC all the way. Thank needs to step it up quick. The new class steps up much faster and the kid has yet to. It's time! Do you agree? I know Mares fell through, not Davis fault but this is long over due. Look at GRJ no need to waste talent.
