Great for the sport we love. I am sure Garcia-Peterson will be much more entertaining since Peterson literally can't help himself but brawl. I wonder what the expectations for Stevenson-Bika are.

Why is UFC on FOx succeeding? Because they win the demo. Boxing just killed it in the demo, with a bigger average audience then the UFC gets.
Like I already said. Most of you simply are clueless to wtf you are talking about.
PBC is on their network. it has their support. it gives their resources.
they don't want to come out and say they failed to bring back boxing on network television with a ****. but obviously everything turned out mediocre.
and the reason ufc continues to succeed because they hardly get fights like broner vs molina. and if they do have a stinker it doesn't last 12 rounds. people can always expect action. trust me, you are looking at a demo for one event and like i said the numbers are usually high for a debut and they always go down afterwards.

They got GREAT ratings their first week and then it fell off each week and then they pulled the plug and it never got a year 2. Go read what the heads of NBC sports were saying about the XFL the first few weeks. lol PBC got mediocre numbers at best and are overspending for fighters, production, and promotion.

Originally posted by Divine Hammer View Posttruth that 3.4 million average is the most they will do in terms of viewers most likely.
for a debut a lot of people will tune in to find out what the fuss is about, and usually the viewership will gradually go down as time goes on. that is what will happen with PBC especially considering every show is few and far between, and so the casuals will lose interest.
Hopefully they shape up some of the production issues, the entrances and such and weget an even better show in one month.

Originally posted by Da Machine View PostI guess thats why the head of NBC sports is excited about the numbers and future of PBC.
And another thing, why do people assume Haymon cares if he makes back is money? Obviously he will try to get the most back as possible, but it's pretty well know this 2 year stint is a try out for a big time deal, knida like teh ufc's 7 year 100m a year deal.Originally posted by Da Machine View PostWhy would they lie?

Whats comparable is the Fox is happy with the UFCs numbers. Numbers that Boxing just beat.
