By Dan Ambrose: Last Saturday night’s card between WBA “regular’ middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (31-1, 28 KOs) and Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin (32-1-1, 23 KOs) brought in really low viewing numbers on Showtime Championship Boxing from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. According to Dan Rafael, the Jacobs-Quillin fight averaged a pitiful 386,000 viewers with a peak of 408,000 viewers on Showtime.
The fight ended in a 1st round knockout with Jacobs blasting Quillin out, but the viewing numbers still should have been better than that if there was any fan interest in the middleweight contest.
