    But 3 million of them were American plastic paddies who'd tuned in to watch the all Irish grudge match between Lee and Quillin.

    "Saturday’s PBC on NBC averaged 2.9 million viewers, ranking as the second most-watched boxing broadcast in 17 years, trailing only NBC’s first PBC event. "

    Like or hate the PBC model....our sport has been going backwards and its reversing that slide. It ridiculous for a sport as important as boxing to go 17 years without attracting as many as 2.9m viewers

    That's only because up until now all the good fights had been on either premium cable or PPV. You can't really compare those numbers to free tv.

    So it went down from the first NBC show? Not a great start to lure in those advertisers.

    Yes, but my point still stands. For the future of the sport we need more people watching it. Free, premium, whatever. The talent pool is getting thinner, the superstars of the sport are now so much less recognizable, no significant sponsorship money coming in. It's now so hard to sell tickets that most decent fights can only end up in Vegas, Texas, NY or LA. The fans don't realise just how badly the sport is performing relative to other major sports.


    The more eyes on it the better, regardless of whose dime sponsors the greater exposure

    even though I'm skeptical of Haymon's plan for boxing, this is definitely good to hear

    This sh!t will last max 1 year or 1 season. There is no way they can keep this up. Until then, free boxing.

    This is good for the sport, I don't get why people are hating it. That's like hating on ESPN's Friday night fights or something. Emotional hoes.

    Exactly, why do so called boxing "fans" want this to fail, it brings boxing back as a mainstream sport.

    Do people only want to be limited to watching only Showtime and HBO for boxing?

    Haymon is not going anywhere. He'll be here after Arum is dead and gone. His roster is only getting bigger.
