If promoters can't attract better ratings should they make less money?

Top Rank's ratings on ESPN have been consistently awful.

If I was paying them to promote my name and my image and my fights I would be severely disappointed right about now.

Would you be even the slightest in understanding due to the current pandemic?

[MASTER OF you]

No.

The pandemic means more people are having to stay home. And they are desperate for live sports.

They already aren't selling any tickets because of COVID-19.

Welp.......

The UFC doesn't make excuses about the pandemic. They just get to work and draw good ratings on the same channel that Top Rank is floundering on.

I would assume they are getting less backend money.

The problem with boxing isn't really the actual promoting. It's a giving mfers sh^t they wanna see problem. We are all here for the most part cuz we'll watch 90%+ of the fights on TV that we can watch. But most folks are casual fans of boxing or the NBA or the NFL or whatever sport. And they watch when they are emotional invested in a event. And boxing is one of the worst sports at getting fans invested by giving them fights they wanna see when they wanna see them & with fans get to know the athletes who compete. When the fights happen that folks wanna see it can be bigger than any other sport. When fans get to know boxers they can become life long fans of them. That's the industry wide problem with boxing. Put fighters out there more & make good competitive fights on every slot of every card & boxing rep & ratings would greatly improve.

I can't even argue against that.
