TV ratings for Fury-SS on Channel 5 UK

[croz]

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.

why's that? And there's lots of days of the week which are better than late Saturday night. Why does it even have to be on late at night?

The gate, you really think Mayweather, Pacquiao and Canelo should fight any other day than Saturday?

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.

It's hard to find ratings for many shows that aren't in a primetime slot. Fight trended quite well when it was on though.

I noticed that they have late night and primetime only really, I can't find purses either.

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.

The fight started at 10pm. The numbers are rubbish for a fight shown on national TV. Khan used to get 10 million, even Froch v Pascal did 3.

They were on ITV, a more popular channel (especially back then with no Freeview available to all). Khan was also an Olympic medallist which didn't hurt.

Fury-Chisora did 3 million on channel 5. Fury just isn't a draw.

A domestic fight is obviously going to pull more. You seem very down on Fury for some reason.
