They were paying UFC double that for about the same ratings. Of course FOX is happy. And especially with the PPV's.

But on here people think 25k people watching on a stream is what success looks like

The DAZN/ESPN+ fan boys are delusional. How can boxing grow when it’s on apps you have to pay for? PBC on FOX for the win.

More about Haymon having the opportunity to make an impact and put on a big fight on a channel that has a massive reach, he decided to put on an undercard fight as the main event.

A big fight? Such as? The brits always rave about Joshua's fights. How many were more action packed and exciting than Kownacki/Arreola? Oh that's right, the Ruiz fight was pretty good!

[Bob Haymon]

HaymonScene once again doing all kinds of mental gymnastics to make it seem like PBC had more viewers than they really did. PBC was not the most viewed sports event on Saturday. NASCAR and golf had more viewers.

My dude is a future Wilder knock out victim.

that seems like a lot

That was a great fight! Glad so many people had a chance to enjoy it! Breazeale vs. Ajagba! Make It Happen!

What's up with these PBC haters? I was happy to tune in for the fights without having to figure out if my ESPN+ app was going to work or not.

That's not the case anymore. The model worked as intended. Haymon didn't go in kissing butt holes. He put up the cash up front.

Good for the sport all around. I don't understand why people hate on the PBC.
