Comments Thread For: Plant-Truax Peaked At 2,019,000 Viewers; Most-Watched FOX Fight In 13 Months

Canelo should have went the PBC route. Charlo and Plant are big money.

Yeah fox seems to always get good numbers because imo they have good lead ins. If the prior show had 2 million average viewers a good chuck will just keep it on that channel.

ESPN boxing is on some app with no lead in at all and when it is on cable they channel hop from espn 2 than midway through the card they hop over to espn or vice versa so they just shoot themselves in the foot every time there.

Yeah, the ESPN channel hop does suck when they are behind another live sport. Agreed

At least the undercards were entertaining! Ant Dirrell o goin in on Plant, talkin bout he looked like ***** lmfao.....

Loved the heavyweight fight!
Fox/PBC put on a good production. Similar to a football game.....ESPN, not so much.

Like I said Canelo/Plant does more than Canelo/BJS.

Those are good numbers. Wonder how many PPV buys him and Canelo will generate for their event.

They would both definitely do better PPV numbers on FOX than on Showtime.

Great...he's already Terrence Crawford 2.0 ....this is validation to keep ducking Benavidez.

I hope not. That to me is a more interesting fight than Canelo/Plant is.

Conveniently they didn't include the ratings for the earlier fights to artificially inflate these weak numbers.
