Just when you have some good news for the sport Letterman just had to give it another black eye with the corrupt card..

Why in the hell do they start the main events at midnight ET?

[Greenfield02]

Great numbers. I bet if they started the main event around 10 eastern instead of 11 or 12 eastern it would help the numbers even more.

This is more like it.

1.5 mil was really low and I didn’t respond in that thread because it would’ve been more
Of the same from me, who cares about ratings?

But it’s nice that this fight got what it deserves, despite an awful undercard.

Thats ****ing awesome, I was expecting 1.3-1.5m. See, if you actually bother to put out worthwhile fights people will watch.

Lopez the new King baby!!!!

Great Ratings!

I do think more big fights need to be on Free TV! Showtime need to do fghts on CBS just like they use to do with Strikeforce and PBC also need to roll out more Jermell Charlo vs Harrison type of fights on FOX!

This is a Win FOR BOXING keep this Momentum! Do your PPV's but do some Big Fights on Free TV as well

Credit to ESPN they stepped up and Paid for this to be on ESPN and I hope others do the same

[James Hunt]

Pitty we still don't have Charlo PPV numbers.
Still collecting the data, I guess?
