Silly question, but what order did these fights come in? I tuned out after that awful Broner fight and I'm feeling like I actually missed something great.

I knew it was in the pre-closed circuit TV era so I was thinking early 80s. I think having two primetime bouts every couple of months would be great to introduce the future of the sport in front of much larger audience than they would outside of preliming for a Mayweather or Pacquiao card. I think there is an afternoon CBS bout coming in a few weeks, a Spike Prime time then another NBC on April 7th. Spike next Friday Night, CBS on the 4th of April in the afternoon (NCAA tournament in the evening), and back to NBC for a Danny Garcia fight on the 11th of April. Gonna be really interesting to see the ratings for this. With not a ton on against it, this should do well. Sucks that they didn't lead with Thurman/Guerrero, but then the last thing you have folks see is Broner's performance. That's the crapshoot of combat sports on network tv.

We watched this last night. Yeah, the second fight redeemed the first one. This kind of programming can only help boxing.

I loved the presentation and I hope this does well for NBC. The sport of boxing needs this to be a success to survive.
