So was this broadcast nationwide to the entire US population that have access to terrestrial TV?
If so then the figures are shit when you think about it - 3.4 Million watching out of a population of 318 million.
Here in the UK Nigel Benn v Chris Eubank pulled in figures of over 16 Million and Barry Mcguigan pulled in over 18 Million in the early 1980's, these fights were years ago before Social media, smartphones and even the Internet to help promote them!!!
Bare in mind the UK population back then was around 48 Million - Thats a quarter of the UK watching these fights
