    Getting exposure on ESPN website. Also front page of sports section in Dallas News but that's to be expected as Spence
    lives on a ranch SE of town.

    I live in a top 15 US city as far as population size is concerned. I watch pretty much every major PPV fight at a bar, casino, or movie theatre. Pay the $5 or $10 cover and spend the rest of what would go towards a PPV on drinks.

    There isn't a single establishment that I can find showing this fight. This is so sad, not just for me but for boxing.

    It's not even that good in comparison to years ago but the UFC could have their regular fight night card & majority people will still tune into that more without any hesitation they also have a large variety demographic.

    Crazy, where are you going to end up watching it at C?

    I rather be on my lonesome no distractions for this one, major food/drink would be the plan.

    Yeah but it’s not though, I respect your opinion, but those are “fight fans” too…you’re splitting your market. I absolutely agree I’ll be watching Spence Crawford, but the UFC card is damn good.

    So right man, CJ was so much more consistent & reliable than him, he's not appreciated as much & yeah i remember someone asking him a simple boxing related question at practice & he couldn't even name five boxer's haha.

    Are they the same market though? I know UFC fans and I know some boxing fans, I don't know any fans of both.

    I can't watch fights with casuals. Always cheering when the underdog flurries and misses every. single. shot.

    It's because of racism. They will never allow two black fighters to shine as the would for an Eastern European or Hispanic

    Then it seems to me that you are extremely out of touch with the world around you.
