Idk about UK boxing, Fury could be the biggest name, but Golokvin is nowhere near being the biggest name in the US

IDK about UK boxing either, I only care about this sport at the world level, and not counting individual nations Golovkin and Fury are the most popular in the world. IDGAF about who's popular here in the USA, this isn't the NBA where the best play here, boxing is a global sport and in no way is talent limited, or even condensed in the USA moreso than everywhere else to the point where it's somehow more important here.

These are decent #s for the level of competition. You can't compare boxing #s to basketball. Football and hoops will always dominate boxing.

Not always. If DW Fights, Say, AJ, or VK, there could be some mad ratings. This wasn't billed as a Competitive Matchup, remember.

On the broadcast, what was the role of Evander Holyfield? He was always 1 of my favorite Boxers, and I would have enjoyed more of his insight. However, he seemed to keep disappearing from the broadcast for Long Periods of Time. They should have made him part of the broadcast, along with Brian, Virgil, & that other dude. Also, when they switched over to FS1 (8:20 PM my Time, 10:20 PM Eastern), had to wait about 30 Minutes for First Bout on that channel. Were they purposely trying to stretch the broadcast out? Quite a gap between John Gemino's Fight, & Caleb Plant's too. Caleb Plant didn't finish until about 12:20 AM Eastern. No biggie, but it seemed they were trying to stretch What was already A 4 Hour Card (Total between the 2 channels) even longer......
But hey, enjoyed The Card in general. Almost Every Bout was competitive. Hope to see More like This......

True but if warriors vs cavaliers is on the same time. It will do low #s by comparison.
