Fight Camp 360 on CBS: 0.3 rating
May 1, 2011
Television by the Numbers reports that the third and final episode of Fight Camp 360: Pacquiao vs. Mosley airing on CBS on Saturday received a lowly 0.3 rating for the 18-49 adult demographic. The one hour special ended the trilogy of episodes hyping the bout next Saturday night.
The first and third episodes ran on CBS. The first episode garnered a 0.5 rating for a Saturday morning time slot. The second episode, as with all three episodes, ran on Showtime.
NASCAR on Fox running opposite Fight Camp received 1.5/1.6 rating winning the time slots (8-8:30 and 8:30-9pm) for the evening. Also, UFC 129 could have taken away some fight fans from the broadcast.

I cant sit through it. I got 2 episodes recorded and I have no interest in watching it. I always end up watching reruns of The Office. The show format is just boring.
Yup. Margarito looked horrible his last 2 fights, but HBO was able to play the "redemption" angle with that and they were able to make Pac look like he was distracted and wasn't training 100%. Add that with the size factor and 24/7 actually made it look like Margarito had a chance and that hyped up the PPV.
Fight Camp hasn't really done anything interesting. They've just put Pac's people talking about how great he's training and talk about how Mosley is surrounded by really good people. Such horrible hype.
They could've atleast tried to make Mosley look like a live underdog or something to make this fight remotely interesting...
HBO are pros when it comes to hyping up fights or fighters. They're the best period. This is why I was so pissed off when it went to Showtime because I knew the hype would suck and I wouldn't get into the show. I was right. This thing is gonna bomb on PPV for sure and I've known this since the fight was announced to be on Showtime.
Cotto vs. Mayorga would of done better on HBO too.

That's the great thing about 24/7 (besides the high end production), they tell stories- they pick a theme for each fighter and the fighters and wax poetic about it. That draws people in, love the fighter or hate, makes you feel some sort of attachment to them and builds up the fight to be more than just a scrap for $. Fight Camp is purely documentary, but I thought the latest episode was great and dug deeper than just 'hey look at what Manny did this day'. The first 2 were eh, and the second was a waste of time, but the 3rd episode was quality stuff IMO.
But 24/7>>>Fight Camp, but Show is pretty new to the doc series, so maybe practice makes perfect.
:nonono: tough fight to sale considering how HORRIBLE Mosley look his last two fights
and lets be honest, both seems like GREAT GUYS but DAMN THEY ARE FUKIN BORING!

I'm glad it got horrible ratings because this show has been pure garbage.
I loved Fight Camp 360 for the Super Six...But the Pac-Mosley has been horrible. Great idea, but Showtime just dropped the ball with the production. Horrible execution. This show is creating no buzz for the fight.

i was wrong then
.3 is 0.3 million = 300,000
1.3 million would be 1,300,000

.3 ratings means that there were 1.3M viewers... 18-49 is the demographic meaning that there were more who watched the show...Yeah but I agree its kinda low...But then again so where the other shows..Meaning there was really hardly viewers in total for that night...
lol thats wrong bruh

Boxing has lost a lot of it's audience to MMA.
Face it, MMA delivers better on the blood lust for the casual fighting sports fan. People seem to think it's more brutal, which in some instances it is, and cling to it over boxing.
We aren't going to get the PPV buys that were once possible. I think boxing will maintain at its current level though.

knew this was gonna happen, two friendly fighters with no drama. what time did they usually premiere? only time people watch tv on the weekends is when a known event is gonna take place (like the actual fight). does anyone have the numbers HBO's 24/7 series did? which ever, cause i assume it has to be better than these, even though it's on a premium cable channel
The shows that do good are on Sunday night, I know nothing about primetime but I do know that people are taking it easy at home on Sunday nights because of work on Mondays. People go out and party on Saturday nights...
You are totally in the right here, but boxing would be better off if it was a dictatorship...Bob Arum does already own the rights to all his boxers, just look at how he trots out his slave boy manny or how he put his crack legal team to work when Donaire wanted to leave his stable...I'm not saying UFC is some flawless thing, but their business model is proving to be far more successful.
Also, UFC doesn't actually have a stranglehold on the sport as there are many other promotional companies that still exist. They all just hope to be large enough one day that UFC buys them out.
ufc/mma has been popular for what like 4 years? We will see how it all plays out. the fighters are treated like slaves and are too afraid to speak out because if they do dana will cut them or do something. Tony Kornheiser said today on PTI when they talked about Couture he was called a hall of famer and Tony responded how does ufc have a hall of fame when it was invented last Thursday?
TBH I watch Around the horn and PTI almost everyday and Boxing gets more coverage on those two shows than mma does and on both shows none of the sports cover nor like mma. mma is very popular right now but to me it honestly reminds me off wwf in the 90's its going to peak and fade. its not sports fans that really follow gay humping either.
