I wonder what constitutes "watching" this. Because on my broadcast the medal ceremony for basketball leaked past 5pm. That number seems too good to be true given the match up and the fact they match was barely promoted and wasn't highly anticipated by casuals. Maybe who ever had their tv tuned to that channel at 5pm counts as a viewer.
Hopefully PBC can maintain higher viewers cause the pay outs yesterday were on some UFC shyt
. Read that Spence got like 300k and Bundu only got 30k

It was a 1 fight card and had only a couple thousand people (maybe...looked more like hundreds than thousands) in attendance. Spence still got paid more than everyone who wasn't in the UFC 202 PPV main event.
$300k to face someone on the level of Leonard Bundu is a good pay day.

Record PBC ratings for Errol Spence's Coney Island fight on NBC
“Haymon was thrilled — that’s the biggest audience for PBC, day or night,” fight promoter Lou DiBella said Monday.
Spence’s triumph rode the massive coattails of NBC’s coverage of the U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team winning the gold medal in Rio de Janeiro.
What excited PBC officials so was that the fight kept about 75% of the viewers.
“The viewers could have departed, but they went from an excited event in Rio to an electric event at Brooklyn,” PBC spokesman Tim Smith said of the DiBella-promoted card that took place with an estimated 4,000 fans at an outdoor venue.
“And Spence is spectacular, which didn’t hurt.”
“Obviously, there was a great lead-in with the basketball, but there’s great momentum in the sport, and it was an outstanding crowd in the great venue that helped maintain it,” DiBella said. “The sport’s on a nice roll, and it’s continuing.”
DiBella also promoted entertaining main events at Barclays Center in Brooklyn this summer between welterweight champion Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter, and Carl Frampton’s upset of Los Angeles’ Leo Santa Cruz in July — which also fared well in ratings.
“The idea that Errol Spence, who’s unquestionably an emerging star, was seen by 6 million people, that’s amazing,” DiBella said. “A young star fighting in this venue — all these people screaming in Coney Island — also had a lot to do with keeping those people riveted.”

Bundu payment was shytty, there is no arguing that if that number is legit. 300k is more than I make in a year so I'm not hating just figured Al base line was higher than that since Garcia got $1mil for Salka and Stevenson and Wilder were getting $1mil for tomato cans
Spence isn't a champ yet.

oh so the ABCs are justified in taxing fighters with fees since getting a belt can up your pay huh

If Spence wasnt with Haymon, I'm sure he wouldnt have seen 300 racks. Also, for all the talk about Arum guiding his fighters well, Garcia, Thurman, Spence, and the rest sure arent complaining.
