Payout Perspective:
Decent ratings for a Friday night of boxing which was capped off by an excellent fight between Navarrette and Wilson. The NHL All Star Friday night served as a lead-in and was first overall in cable with 1.023M viewers. Obviously, the ratings tailed off once the 3 hour broadcast was over but boxing did receive some residual viewership.
