TV ratings for Fury-SS on Channel 5 UK

[croz]

1.45 million viewers.
Pretty standard for a Fury fight.

Very good when you take into account the late timeslot and the fact that it took place in another country. Fights that happen abroad tend to have a dip in viewers.

10pm isn't a late time slot and the figures aren't that good.

Tyson Fury is entertaining. I am becoming a fan of his.

When are they gonna release Canelo-Trout ratings? Anyone know where to look for them.

10PM is a late slot, that means it would have ended close to 12. Boxing is always in a late slot. That's late.

And this will likely be in the top ten for the week.

Here are the top ten ratings for Channel 5 the week before. Notice how number 5 is 1.3 mill. Tyson usually cracks the top 5.

When ratings are bad the trolls are usually the first to get their hands on them in order to rub them in people's faces. So I'd take it as a good sign so far.

They're probably waiting for the replay numbers. Don't know why the NBC numbers haven't come out yet. I say it probably did slightly better than the Adamek fight.

Fury fought Nazis?

Boxing airs in a timeslot known as the Saturday night death slot. Basically it's a timeslot that doesn't attract many viewers because people tend to have better things to do on a Saturday. Back in the old days Saturday was a good day for TV, these days not so much, but boxing promoters were too dumb to bother changing the day when everyone else was fleeing the sinking ship. So basically the fact that boxing can compete with other sports and series while in such a god awful day and timeslot has always been quite impressive.

Saturday nights
Until the 1990s, many popular series aired on Saturdays, including CBS series such as Have Gun - Will Travel, All in the Family, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show, The Carol Burnett Show, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, Early Edition and Walker, Texas Ranger, as well as NBC's The Golden Girls and its numerous spin-offs, and most networks maintained a full schedule (though the night was also often used for airing movies). However, in the past decade, a similar situation to Friday nights has emerged, with fewer viewers in front of a TV set. The last major efforts to program Saturday nights ended in 2001, when CBS canceled Walker, Texas Ranger and NBC failed with the XFL. Thus, since 2004, the mainstream U.S. networks have largely abandoned original programming on Saturday nights in favor of reruns and occasionally sports coverage (with the exceptions of Fox, which has continued to air its long running reality show COPS, and CBS, which continues a limited first-run presence with 48 Hours Mystery). In recent years, a new trend has emerged where a show that is considered to be a ratings failure (or is already canceled) is moved to Saturday nights to finish airing its original episodes (examples include NBC's Crusoe and the CBS miniseries Harper's Island in 2008–09, CBS' Three Rivers and ABC's The Forgotten in 2009–2010, NBC's Outlaw and Chase and CBS's Chaos in 2010–2011, and CBS's How to Be a Gentleman and NBC's The Firm in 2011-2012). Despite being a known graveyard slot, some channels have gained or maintained success in the Saturday night slot that they have created notable exceptions such as with Nickelodeon, which has successfully aired a Saturday primetime lineup of first-run programming aimed at pre-teens and teenagers since August 1992 (which has included popular series such as Clarissa Explains It All, All That, Kenan & Kel, iCarly and Victorious), and Syfy, which has had respectable success with made-for-TV movies that regularly air during Saturday primetime.

I'm getting frustrated trying find Fury-Cunningham numbers and Canelo-Trout numbers in the USA, I have been to FutonCritic and TVbythenumbers which are the best sites and they have cable ratings from Sunday and UFC ratings but no boxing.

You are making a mistake by saying Promoters are being dumb by not moving it to another day, it's pretty obvious why events aren't held on a Tuesday.
