    The main event averaged 2.146 million making it the most viewed cable bout since 2006.
    More over at the scene.

    Every generation produces an even bigger star.

    According to Large Dan, Hopkins-Tarver did 2.46m in 2006.

    Floyd at 24 did have a much better resume than Alvarez but he had yet to headline a PPV.
    Alvarez truly is the next big star.

    Excellent numbers. Although I wonder how much the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao rebroadcast had to do with boosting the numbers.

    Good quick rebound for the sport.

    Hopefully GGG can continue the momentum.

    Not enough people saw that gem... every person that saw the Floyd/Pac farce should have watched that to fight be cured from last week's abomination. Maybe even forced to :bart
