    They could actually do it bigger. They are a sports station. All of their top fighters SHOULD be household names!

    ESPN really doesn't care about boxing. They're using it to get paid subscriptions on their ESPN + app because they know combat sports fans are used to paying for content.

      ''ESPN Heavyweight Belt'' for Tyson Fury is what Motorshill Cobra is referring to... all to justify PBC's ''save my business'' model

        If you lived in America you'd see how Fox treats boxing as a sport on par with their other sports and how ESPN treats boxing as something to generate revenue for their app.

          So Andre Ward and Tim Bradley help play the part? Is that why the LDBC hate them so much? Is it why Bradley refused to fight Haymon fighters? Why Ward rocked with Roc?

            Fox is a free channel. There's no excuse for Caleb Plant selling less than 900 tickets. The difference in subscribers between FS1 and ESPN is only about 5% and FS1 but PBC gets less than half as many viewers on their basic cable platform. There was only 4 fights on Fox that got any meaningful attention the rest were just completely ignored.

              ESPN is the #1 SPORTS STATION in the nation and one of the top stations in America. Football on ESPN does the same ratings in the same time slot as football on the broadcast channels.

                  Fox has the World Series, Nascar, PGA, WWE, and the Super Bowl. PBC fighters have also been featured on NBC, CBS and ESPN on primetime. Why can't Plant sell 900 tickets? Why did Angulo-Quillin have lower ratings and worse gate than Navarrete-DeVaca? Why are Wilder ticket prices reduced by 80% and continuing to drop?

                    Once again. ESPN is a SPORTS STATION. The #1 sports station in America. Sports 24/7. ESPN does not have to get sports fans to turn the channel. They're already there. Their main fighters should all be household names
