Will this have any effect on TV negotiations?

it should have zero effect.. most will be on espn+ and differnet sports
but it is a good sign that they are willing to pay big money for content

It's 7 years long... but for how much money?

How many people still watch boxing? I quit watching boxing since Ali retired. MMA is where it is at now.

They've got a contract with the UFC now too. I watch both boxing and MMA but MMA is my preference for sure.

I was just going to ask if anyone still watches boxing since the appearance of ufc.

Even with the top rank boxing being signed, during football season, does boxing take over? It would seem to me that boxing would be a filler for slots not taken by college football for at least five months of the year.

Tv rating improvements wise melenials are a weak priority target, ESPN knows they don't watch tv and b/c of them cord cutting it's been a nightmare high.

Going after Boxing could help slow the bleeding a little.

I am not a millennial (63) and could care less for boxing. What age does boxing mean to fans.

I'm white and I do too. But the hispanic community has higher rates of boxing fans than other communities. A community, thankfully, growing in economic and social influence.

I’m a millennial 24 and boxing is where it’s at! Joshua vs. Klitchko last year...Triple g vs Alvarez. There is still plenty of good boxing out there. I like MMA too but prefer boxing because of the history.

Boxing has been hurt over the last decade by a lot of things but most especially not having a vibrant and exciting Heavyweight division with charismatic contenders. Luckily, that is changing.

White guy, 42, married to a Hispanic woman. We ALL love boxing. Everyone one of us on both sides of are family. (Ok, her family a little more)

Boxing is boring, I’ll take MMA every time.
