Hopefully this translates to bigger fanbases for both fighters, seeing as how both were throwing hands and put on an exciting fight.

Needed to average in the 1.6-1.7M range to be honest. But Spence/Porter should surpass the 2M average fairly easy. That one needs to target an average of 2.5M and a peak over 3M.

So it beat out a NHL playoff game and ESPN fight? Impressive.

Proof competitive fights bring ratings. I'm glad both guys put on a show that will likely attract viewers for future fights. Both guys put on the type of performance that turns casuals into hardcore fans.

That was a great fight. The type of stuff that turns casuals into hardcores.

Finally the PBC puts on a good show - no running, no holding, no bs. That was a good, foty worthy type of fight.

JRock & Bud Crawford, only fighters worth paying PPV IMO...Pac vs Thurman won't do 200K viewers, very poor quality ask of PPV.

Those are some very good fight for two guys no body cares about. This fight was very different from most PBC fights. This one was actually an even fight.

JRock is legit, top 3 P4P rank after his victory performance over Hurd!
