Payout Perspective:
Decent ratings for Top Rank Boxing considering another huge card was happening on PPV. The UFC lead-in probably didn’t factor in here if you were a combat sports fan as it was likely you would gravitate to the PPV. But, if you didn’t want to pay the $80 to watch it or were willing to wait a week for it to replay on Showtime, you may have stuck around for the fights from Fresno.
