The Abdullah Mason vs Albert Hall fight recently on July 4th 2026 was a small event in America but the numbers it did are outstanding.
For a smaller name match up that is.
The fight last week saw a battle of the two Americans duke it out with boxer Abdullah Mason getting the stoppage victory.
In the final and 12th round last weekend. It was on the 4th of July weekend 2026 in America as well.
America’s 250th birthday.
A weekend where Donald Trump, the US President, basically came to an abrupt end with a shockingly bad speech where he looked a mess. Done and dusted.
In the eyes of 99 per cent of Americans, he is done.
The war with Iran will be finished in just days now, Trump could have ended it two months ago if he wanted.
There was never any pause in fighting, the fighting was ongoing all the time anyway.
But on that same weekend — American boxing came storming back to triumphant success again.
Abdullah Mason vs Bell has pulled in around 820,000 viewers at peak — with 661,000 average viewers.
For such small name American boxers those numbers are huge. They really are.
If that was a Ryan Garcia vs Devin Haney rematch — you would expect if it was not pay per view to pull in around 12 to 14 million viewers across America alone.
Based on the above Mason vs Bell numbers, maybe more though.
That is the truth of it.
American boxing is back and so is professional boxing worldwide.
Spectators are happy to watch the fights again as there is more of them on and the quality of boxing has gotten much better.
Maybe the best matchmaking is happening now in 2026 than since the 1980s or so.
A new age of boxing is upon us.
