Comments Thread For: Pulev-Dinu Draws Lowest Viewership Since ESPN/Top Rank Deal

Nobody even know who they are so those numbers aren't shocking. I didn't watch the fight and I don't feel like I missed out. In fact I feel fortunate i didn't know it was on tv

Top Rank is Fn this up. If this ****ty match making continues its going to scare off ESPN from continuing with boxing once the contract is over. And that has nothing to do with boxing and everything to do with Bob messing things up by protecting his fighters.

I don't think ESPN cares. They knew they were gonna get killed by the NCAA basketball ratings. They would've probably had bowling or women's gymnastics otherwise. At least Top Rank didn't do as badly as PBC's card on FS1, which had decent matchmaking and relatively well known fighters but only got half of TR's rating.

Yet still more viewers than DAZN. And cheaper too

Oh boy you gonna trigger Frankie

Illegal streams are the way to go.

Why financially support a sport where fights end like ward/kovalev II or hooker vs perez & nobody answers for it?

Usually you can even choose the commentary you prefer from 3, 4 different countries, all without lining the pockets of corrupt conmen.

We get it you hate ward but stfu the ref ruled the beltline legal.

The lowest viewing figures and a sexual assault case to follow. All in all, a good weekends business for Uncle Bob.

Yeah, they ruled that above the beltline, which is one of many examples of why nobody should pay for boxing & I haven't in years. What I said the first time around. It's a corrupt ****show & an open secret. Maybe if it hurts enough money will be squeezed out for change to happen.
