I'll. Never understand why fox didn't just get a new deal with UFC instead of going with boxing.ufc is more popular as shown by the better ratings it gets and probably costs less to airComment

Wrong, boxing costs half as much as boxing did for them. And ESPN gave the UFC a huge offer.Comment

Yup and now it's the NCAA excuse but NASCAR went head to head with college basketball too and drew 2.5M viewers. This is becoming a theme a few weeks back it was the Alliance Football (a brand new minor league football startup) lolComment

Plant is a good looking United States white guy that can fight. Plus he had a real Sob story behind him.
Those will always get good ratings!
I’m in Colombia right now and this obsession with ratings is aggravating. Boxing is still huge in Latin America with major networks paying big money to televise fights. Kovalev vs Alvarez for example was live on a boxing channel.
Honestly who cares if your average US citizen would rather watch men roll around on the floor than a quality boxing match. It was a good fight with a great finish.
Boxing just like Soccer is still huge in the rest of the world!Comment
