Canelo vs Jacobs draws massive TV ratings

[bigdunny1]

God damn you Mexicans be watching some boxing. These are Superbowl numbers. Mexico got 1/3 the population this would be like over 90M viewers if they had the population size of the US.

According to ESPN Deportes, it was viewed in Mexico by 30.5 million fans. The broadcast was carried by the two biggest television channels in the country, Televisa and TV Azteca.

Those are very solid numbers; Especially on free network television. It's the reason why Canelo Alvarez is the cash cow of boxing.

As I said in another thread the politics for DAZN landing in Mexico will be war, Televisa and Azteca won’t want it to happen

... I don't know how this works: does DAZN sell the TV rights for Mexico or U.K.?

That’s a good question, I’m sure the massive Matchroom contract has that inclusively. Azteca boxing is the only type of broadcast that has real-time graphics and commercials. Annoying and tacky in my opinion but that’s how the money flows in that protocol
