    Networks, promoters, and fighters care a lot.

    And what they care about leads to what we all watch.

    So in that sense we should care about ratings and revenue.

    Nobody knows how a fight is going to sell.

    It's just a risk.


    You only know the numbers after the fight.


    I'm sure the Algieri Pacquiao fight hasn't dented Arums pockets that much.


    Algieri still got a career high payday regardless.
