    Fast on people who tuned up for super bowl but yet numbers for PPV buys on boxing takes so long to come out and it's about 1% the amount of people who tuned in for Super Bowl

    Overnight ratings

    PPV #s take longer because they count them by hand

    By hand? ROFL. It shouldn't be that hard. You order your PPV through the box and their computers know whom to stream it to when the event happens. They should know immediately after the fight accurate numbers. It's not rocket science. More likely it has to go through the corporate trails up to PR.

    Are we in the 1940s or something? Time Warner and CBS haven't updated their technology? :rofl

    They advertise the fights by going door to door with pamphlets.
