NBC boxing peaks at a 3.1 rating, wins youth demographic

Anything over 4 million is what they need

Sheesh Haymon really spared no expense lol. Well luckily it hit the numbers it wanted, they learn from their mistakes and this GROWS instead of what the UFC on fox is doing which is shrinking every event.

according to NBC's twitter the overnights averaged a rating of 2.5 peaking at 3.1 and won the 18-40 demographic for the night. It was also the most watched sport event on the weekend.

I'm not sure what the rating point equals but UFC on FOX 14 pulled a 1.4 rating point and that was 2.5 million people. UFC on FOX won pulled 5.7 million with a 4.0 rating point. These are also only overnights so they will likely be higher when they are fully counted tomorrow.

This is just a guess but if that is indeed just the rating point and not the actual number in millions then the over nights are probably at 4-5 million. If that is the case the full count might be 6 million. But that's only if it matches up with the UFC ratings. I don't really know.

That was the UFC heavyweight championship tho not really a fair comparison.

Yeah, although how much did the UFC pay Velasquez and Dos Santos to make that fight?

$220k (plus $110k bonus) for Dos Santos, $100k for Velasquez.

Haymon paid out far more for last nights ratings.

[Divine Hammer]

that's actually bad numbers very bad considering how much has been invested.

NBC going to ditch this PBC circus act and throw haymon on the curb. haymon can't keep paying his fighters millions to fight mediocre fights that no one cares about.

You're an idiot and haymon is paying nbc. They're not getting rid of him

[Da Machine]

Boxing is just beginning basically. Is going to take money. Duva bragging about her****ty fights off prime time do nothing for the sport.

This is an example of someone that HATES BOXING. You aren't actually a fan of this sport. You hope and pray for it's failure. What a disgusting human you are to come onto a site and post regularly about a sport you hate.

Which is why the UFC may be a better option for network tv than boxing.

The live gate for Dos Santos-Velasquez1 was bigger than the fighter purses for the entire card.

The payouts from last night were much larger (roughly $5 million) and the live gate will probably be low (considering reports of poor ticket sales, free tickets).

Duvas have been bitter as **** ever since they leaked the PBC on NBC deal.
