No, just on prime time ESPN. Really good ratings. Out did Lomachenko/Rigondeuax and that had a big lead in with the heisman throphy presentation.

yeah exactly.. it doesnt make it not true, just only in a certain context that forgets sub disparity and accessibility lol. its a straw-man argument i agree.

But then again, its like WBC, WBA IBF saying that AJ is the best pounf for pound boxer in the world.. because he is number 1 in the biggest division therefore he beats those that are smaller than him that are the best in their respective divisions. It may be true... but its a fat chunk of bollocks lol
