Payout Perspective:
It’s a little surprising that Saturday’s Fox event drew less than a million viewers in fast nationals despite it being a lead-in to a Pacquiao fight. Also, Caleb Plant has been a fighter that PBC has been pushing. He had an impressive victory yet it appears that less people tuned in.
