Yet, even by this optimistic measure, boxing's biggest event this decade still couldn't outdraw the audience for last week's New England Patriots-Buffalo Bills regular season game on ESPN, which reached 14 million viewers...
...their cozy, new 15,000-seat stadium, the Memphis Redbirds, a Triple-A team affiliated with the major-league Cardinals, are drawing the largest attendance in the minors.
