what we can tell and what has Motorcity a Cobra so upset is that AJ and Ruiz on a streaming service had three times as many views as Tank vs Gamboa. Even WBO WBF IBA is super pissed and is formulating his post to bash these numbers.Comment

They streamed it in Canada and Japan only. I don't know how big football (soccer) is in Canada, but I know the game as a whole, and the EUFA Champions League in particular, is very popular in Japan. The UK Premier League is also big in Japan, and this years EUFA Champions League final was between 2 Premiership clubs, so I would think it got a lot of viewers over there.
So AJ/Ruiz 2 beating it isn't as big an achievement as I first thought, but still impressive.Last edited by kafkod; 01-07-2020, 10:38 AM.Comment

As far as I know, DAZN has rights to the boxing in all nine markets (total population maybe 600 million), but they only have rights to UCL in Japan and I guess Canada (total population about 150 million).
Still I think it's pretty surprising that boxing could be getting 1/4 the viewership of UCL final and semifinal ties like Liverpool-Barcelona. The equivalent in the US would be a boxing event drawing something like 1/4 of the viewership of a college football national championship or semifinal game (for example, Clemson-OSU had 20 million viewers) and LSU-Clemson will probably have 30 million+.Comment

I watched...and it was a big event
because of the embarrassment/upset factor of the first one....if it weren't for that it was not a big event....AJ got upset and embarrassed by a replacement underdog....people wanted to watch out of intrigue to see if it would happen again
and to be honest I don't think AJ won any new fans with his performance....just being honest...yes it did big numbers and was a big event....but without the shock of the first fight its just ho hum....Comment
