Its great that Thurman got the exposure

He choosed to go to war when he could of outboxed Ghost, especially in a big step up in competition n on the spotlight, great way to rise to the occasion

I thought Ghost would of start fighting midway the fight like he ended

Anything over 4 million is what they need

You do know that is Kathy Duva daughter right?

Think that's a good start, especially opposite unc v duke.

Yea that's a good point, I was worried about that beforehand

[Mitchell Kane]

Interesting.

sportstvratings.com says 2.53 overnight rating, 3.13 million.

[DARKSEID]

Regardless of the ratings, we are getting quality fights every week.

If you're a boxing fan you couldn't ask for more, except Mayweather- Pac, and we're getting that in may.

just for the record I don't know if that' the actual number or even if NBC is talking in rating points millions. If it is indeed in the 5 million viewer range it could be 6 million by tomorrow but we'll have to wait and see.

3.13 million is the number being reported now.

It could be revised up, these are just the overnight numbers.

For comparison, the UFC on FOX debut was 3.1 rating, 5.7 million with 8.8 million peak.

I don't know how good those numbers are, but I'm hoping that's good. Thank you Thurman and Guerrero.

[Foreign Soil]

Those are worse numbers than I thought and even then I didn't expect much. The avg NBC show ion Sat is between 4-5 million. Completely expected. Boxing isn't that popular anymore.

That was the UFC heavyweight championship tho not really a fair comparison.
