Comments Thread For: ESPN: Stiverne-Arreola Bout Was Ratings Success

Wlad's fighting style, and the era he's fighting in, means he'll never get the respect that he fully deserves. That said, he has only himself to blame for turning off American fans. That disaster against Ibragimov at the Garden forever sealed his fate among the casuals.

Wlad-Leapai was a disaster for ESPN. They got 500k viewers. When 1.5 million is what they usually get for that time slot.

true. Most people turned it off by the 3rd round. they missed a ko by a few minutes. How bad must a fight be that you turn it off so quick

My man, if you can't see the significance of the HWT champion doing less on US TV then other HWT's thats on you.

I mentioned it because it shows how the US audience feels about poor HWT fights vs exciting ones.

1 point represents 1% of households with televisions. There are 115.6 million television households so 1 point equals 1,156,000 households. And 0.8 points would equal to 924,800 households.

Don't know how many viewers that is though.

ESPN wanted 1 million households or viewers in order to do this again?

Someone break this down into number of viewers or something.

Wth is the 4.1 referring to?

generally it's a percentage of all viewership on television at the time. they're national, so it's obviously got to compete with channels everybody can get.



i could be wrong. i didn't even read the article. when you hear "it did a 4.1," that's generally referring to the share of households.

That is a damn shame, Klit fight came on a week before and was a failure. why is this?

It was announced last minute, few knew if was on, and it was a terrible match.
