Lara has been in some big fights a lot of people know who he is.

Definitely, I was just being sarcastic.

But Davis should have done better number regardless. He should have matched these ratings here.

Those numbers aren't that bad imo for Lara.

People trashing these numbers but go look at most of the ESPN numbers for their fights. They are pretty much on par as these for most of their fights. Yet ESPN is in more homes and according to Arum a better network that reaches more sports fans yet most of his shows don't even crack a million views unless its Crawford or Loma.

way better than expected honestly! Head to Head vs a Stacked UFC Card

And a Warriors game on ABC.

Those are good ratings for a Cuban showcase. Lara and Ortiz are unknown outside boxing circles so half a mil on a paid premium channel is good.

They get paid off on demand views so don’t look to deep into those ratings.
