Surely if they introduce cheaper PPV in America they could start getting at the very least half the viewing numbers as buys.

Those are excellent ratings. That's good for the sport of boxing!!

That was an excellent card, at an excellent time! All 3 fights were highly entertaining! The undercards outperformed the main event! Add to that, it all came right after the Heisman Award Show! PERFECT! Salute to TR and ESPN!

I'm not trying to bash but I'm pretty sure that Lomachenko probably drew about 85% of the viewers to the television, if not more.

Wow! Those are great numbers!

Probably would have been better if they could've had the main event a bit earlier. I fell asleep mid-way through the fight because of how late it was.

Pacing was a problem, but the numbers still came in. Top Rank + ESPN partnership continues to be a huge success.

Lomachenko is one of the best.

Congratulation for Lomachenko, I hope he achieve the legacy he want in the future.

Some know the viewers of the last boxing card of HBO? I am curious how low those viewers are?
