Yeah, we will soon see that all that was nothing but noise. And we will see why more boxing cards aren't put on the weekdays after this series.

How have the UFC cards during the week been doing?

How have the UFC cards during the week been doing?

Haven't really been following to be honest. Did hear their first PPV did well but no clue after that. UFC is a different beast though.

It's nice to have boxing back, but all these cards that Top Rank is putting on this week are nothing but mismatches. Even with no sports, mismatches are mismatches and people are not going to watch even if there is nothing else on.

They're going to marinate the good fights right into the next shut down. Why are they wasting time, penny wise, slow dime, promoting? Get some money makers on deck.

Awful numbers. Awful card. Awful sport. I have tens of thousands of posts on a boxing message board and I didn't watch the first televised boxing card in 3 months. That should tell you all you need to know. F**ck this bullsh**t.

"We Didn't Feel UFC Testing Protocols In Florida Were Adequate" says Arum.

Nice to know you focused more on testing protocols instead of good fight cards!

But hey... I'm happy boxing is back. Things will get better, but I'm not sure how these bad cards affect the opinions of the casuals. Hopefully people can be open and understand that the pandemic has ****ed things up, and that it will be better sooner or later.

Boxing does a horrible job of building up name recognition. Casuals had no idea who any of these fighters were.

To them it was just a bunch of randoms fighting. No meaning, no importance.

Old replays of fights get more views than this.

reruns of freinds do better numbers, The whole card was trash, how do you expect fans not to forgot boxing, These promoters just milking the sport like its going out of business
