    Jay Z a billionaire, guy doesn't give a ****. The clown shouldn't be a promoter anyway, he's giving boxing a bad look. Guy needs to stick to making his garbage music and promoting Rihanna.

    Damn that's bad if true, Roc Nation need to work hard to grow Ward as an attraction because it's clear the lay off has left Ward a forgotten man.

    ROC Nation is JZ bro:deal
    He took a hit on this one but maybe Ward can step it up now that he got the rust off his aze :thumbsup

    Ward has skills but when you lay out for almost 2 yrs, unless you are Floyd. People forget you quickly in the fight game:?

    Poor numbers but that was expected.

    Glad Ward is back.

    I am a HUGE Froch fan but I felt the same way.

    Ward is the best super middleweight by far.

    What's up Pimp C? Houston still underwater?

    Those aren't horrible numbers for BET....it's not exactly HBO in terms of audience or subscribers.

    I'm not sure that any direct connection exists in terms of this particular bout. There were commercials, so I'd imagine the sponsors paid for their air time in advance.

    I could be mistaken, but wasn't this also the first bout televised on BET? I have no idea what expectations were, but on average, I would imagine BET is getting far fewer viewers than channels that typically air boxing - in non-boxing situations. So it would make sense that they would get less in boxing situations than those channels, too.

    Kind of the same way HBO regularly does better numbers than Showtime on the whole - HBO has a larger viewer base to begin with.
