        The UFC averaged slightly more viewers but got double the amount amongst younger people.

          This is more about the opponent than about Porter. The networks have gotta stop serving up gimme fights like this - people are bored of watching them. Without a crowd, boxing is a tougher sell than ever - you've gotta be creative. Look at what DAZN have done, they've thought outside the box and their cards have gone down the best since this COVID situation started.

            Don't know if those numbers are good, bad or meh. Regardless of the promotion, format or channel...I want to see good numbers.

              Shawn Porter is not a big name and he was fighting a nobody.

                  Porter should have made more of an effort to knock that guy out imo...knockouts sell....the casual fan doesn't want to watch welter weights go 12 rounds...

                      Thanks for the info I was wondering. I understand that younger gen enjoys that a bit more, with as hard as it is to get great fighters to fight each other in boxing and the horrible decisions recently it's a bad look.
