Not so good. Most of the comments by the fans are negative. This was a huge promotion and didn't score big numbers. It will get better with better fights after they build some stars. Believe me they will be building stars to showcase.

Wouldn't that be good ratings when you factor in it was going up against big college football game?

On a side note. I hated the entire production. But that's FOX. I was wating for Howie and the FOX Robot to show up

I tried to watch it, then I blinked and it was over. Kimbo did more than this with less direct promotion. Pacquiao Marquez would have done more than this had it been on FOX instead of 54.99 on PPV.

Yeah, I guess for a hyped up HW Championship fight that isn't very good.

It was a mistake to put this the same week as Pac-JMM, as fighting is already a niche sport that doesn't get a lot of coverage on ESPN, newspapers etc.

Then again, after the disaster of a fight, it may have been a good thing.
