Payout Perspective:
Good ratings on a night where boxing was on ESPN and ESPN + with the latter streaming the return of Manny Pacquiao. The ratings are the best Fight Night event since UFC Fight Night 129 in May. Last year’s Fight Night card post-International Fight Week PPV drew 402,000 for an event in Scotland. The Boise card reported a sell-out and the ratings were very good on a night with a choice of combat sports to watch.
