I doubt this did 6 million.

You have an irrational hatred of Spence that borders on delirium. Chill out man,.

how did this fight get 6 million views? i didnt even see any commercials for it or knew it was going on.

I didn't either, I literally went to my guide because I saw Spence fought that day, people probably just saw a fight and said why not watch.

@SportsTVRatings did PBC really do 6M viewers Sunday on NBC?

The article on the front page also has that same average, but the fight peaked at 6.34 million

Yep.

4.8M for Spence-Bundu is 1.5M higher than PBC's previous highest rated telecast (Thurman-Guerrero, 3.3M).

It was entirely due to the lead-in, but still a great number to reflect on.

He's terrified because he poses a threat to Brook.

It means that 6.3 million people saw Spence, HBO has made boxing a niche sport

I dont think HBO made boxing a niche sport. Bad advice from managers and greedy promoters made it a niche sport. These guys demand money that is not there and then they end up fighting 1 or twice a year how do they expect to attract "casual" eyeballs when these guys are nowhere to be seen...hello DSG , Thurman, Jack , BJS , Broner ,

The numbers were so high because of the olympics coverage right before that, and also the McGregor/Diaz fight doing so well. Spence wont consistently do even close to 6m, think about it Wilder did like 1.45 million http://www.boxingscene.com/wilder-ar...tworks--106891 , and he's a way bigger draw.

Especially college football. The first 3 weeks or so of college football is full of University of Alabama vs. Fargo North Dakota Culinary Institute, type of games. Yet nobody complains.

It's because its primarily bubba gumps who watch college foot ball.

This is great scheduling that has paid off, if they can keep Spence's next fight on free TV and make it a title fight that they promote well then hopefully he can keep 50-60% of those viewers and do around 4 million. That figure is great business for PBC and will help build it's brand as well as Spence's.
