It's also why they shouldn't have a card with bigger names like this and try to cut costs by going to only 12 fights, they need at least 13-14 week of in case of cancellations.

I could potentially see some retirements if Lewis, Chiesa and/or Blachowicz are losing tonight.

Won't have to do anything when ESPN is just going to throw money at them with no demands and there is no other promotion even close to them in western marketshare though.

Be prepared for a metric ****ton of ads inbetween Rogan and DC talking about anything except the fights going on.

If the fights were starting right after the previous one finished I would consider buying PPV's but **** me this pacing is painful and american ads are somehow even worse than european ones.

I admitedly don't watch ads much anywhere else but I think some of the american ads are quite fun. Especially when they're trying to sell medicines and have to tell you all the onehundred ways the "medicine" might kill or maim you at the end.
