“It’s a blessing,” Thurman said Wednesday after a press conference at Barclays Center to officially announce the fight. “I wanna be seen by the American public. I wanna be seen by the fight fans. I want the fight fans to get these high-caliber fights without having to come out of pocket. They’re accustomed to it, and they don’t really mind paying for the best fights. But you do get more viewership by not asking people to buy. [The viewership] was amazing with Shawn. I’m hoping to beat six million [viewers]. And it would be tremendous if we could double [the Thurman-Porter rating] and hit eight million. I really wanna show the world that boxing still is highly appreciated amongst the American sports fans.”
I don't really have a prediction for this yet when it comes to viewership, but I think Garcia wins a debatable decision. Both fighters get KDs in this fight.
