Comments Thread For: Charlo-Montiel Viewership Highest For Showtime Boxing Broadcast During Pandemic

Hopefully this convinces Showtime and PBC to continue delivering quality cards on a regular basis.

Y people finding so much to complain about. 300k not bad looking at the fact most households don’t even have showtime. Of course espn would have more views because of the opposite.

I want to see those numbers back up to 600k on showtime

Juneteeth is the new date.

What exactly was the appeal to this fight? Are people not interested in better match ups? Also, did PBC ever release the Charlo PPV numbers? Honestly don’t recall if they did

If it had done good numbers they wouldn't have put their next fight on Showtime.

That's very true. ESPN is part of everyone's basic cable programming package. Showtime is a premium network where you have to pay an additional $11 per month just to watch.

I remember back in the day when Adrien Broner and Deontay Wilder used to bring in the highest ratings for Showtime. Each would do at least a mil viewers per fight. Not withstanding the livestreams.

I've been saying that for years, yet everyone called me a liar. Shockingly, nobody has apologized.

This right here. So basically this only measures the cable way of doing things rather than those who get the channel through YouTube tv, Amazon prime, Hulu, etc etc

Those numbers are dreadful. If anything a pandemic should pump up viewers because people are more apt to be at home. Reminds me of the old saw about putting lipstick on a pig.
