Shakur Stevenson vs Artem Harutyunyan - ESPN+ - Fight By Fight Thread

[Pacdbest2]

Foster fight is a statement/warning from top rank that boring fighters need to pick up the action! Or else will give the fight to the other guy! Stevenson is next!

Has Stevenson ever fought as a main event for PPV? As far as I am aware he had consistent fights in Thursdays recently and mostly Draws an audience of 500-800K viewers depending on the opponent.

I’m talking about PPV, not regular ESPN+ viewers. I’m talking about 300-350k PPV BUYS.

Under a million viewers for a fight that is televised on ESPN/ESPN+ is a small number. Those are the types of numbers that put HBO and Showtime out of business. Too many of those under 1m viewers make it unworthy for a network to keep supporting it.

Shakur is really going for the KO here. He wasn’t lying about being different for this fight.
