Impressive, it was a really good triple header, main event being least entertaining but still watchable, Stevenson was impressive but should have finished this guy. I truly feel he lacks that killer instinct.

ESPN really been dominating lately. Berlanga picked up a legion of new fans with that number

I like Shakur, but honestly it's not even all that bad that the amount of viewers dropped for his fight compared to the Berlanga fight. The Berlanga fight averaged the most viewers and he is the one with big star potential if he ends up being the real deal. VERY smart of TR to put him as the opening bout to take advantage of the built in crowd.

And a good amount of viewers saw a hell of a fight between Verdejo and Nakatani.

Good night of boxing.

GREAT Ratings! Yes it did benefit from a great LSU vs Florida that was on Before that did huge Ratings I'm sure and Ran Late but I think that is what Boxing Needs more of, it needs to be put next to far more Popular Sports here in America because the sport on its own is just not that Popular as a whole

Very good ratings considering the opponent. And that was an excellent card that was better than the recent pbc PPV undercard

Lol

Berlanga brought in the views most left when Shakir started stinking the joint again.

Forreal if Berlanga keeps knocking people out his fanbase will become huge, he will deff become the money fight . Hopefully this makes it easier for Top Rank to find the money to get better opponents.
