Over 22 million people watched the Belmont. Rumor has it that more than a few were not concerned about diluted breeding.

VISA even pulled out because they knew the odds to win a triple crown have become much easier over the years. They saved milllions not being part of the AP and Justify wins. Other then Gronkowski closing like a bullet up the rail the Belmont was boring.
VISA dropped its sponsorship in 2006 after the NYRA split with the other 2 tracks over TV rights. The odds to win the Triple Crown were hardly getting easier in 2006. If anything, TV sponsors would prefer more winners. A horse with the first two wins going into the Belmont makes for a huge jump in viewers.
