Comments Thread For: PBC on NBC: Rating Average of 3.4 Million Viewers

[animalfan10]

The same people who think 3.4M average and 4.2M peak is bad are the same ones who cream themselves when Golovkin draws 800K for an afternoon HBO show. It's not hard to see the agenda.

Yep 100 percent true

Also these numbers are better than what the vast majority of UFC on FOX cards got viewership wise....So pretty solid

[SUBZER0ED]

Why are you guys even replying to fairy tale lover divine hammer, he has a clear agenda.. Hes even said these are crap matchups when they would easily be hbo or sho headline cards

Hey, don't clown the man's faith. Jesus is real and lives.

What's a Haymon reject? Someone who tried to get a job with Haymon, but was turned down?

a haymon reject is someone like hanzgruber who supports haymon 100% and thinks he is the greatest thing and loves him and supports him with all of his heart when in reality haymon could care less about him and his feelings. they are all foolish for thinking haymon thinks about them/the fans and the sport. same goes with floyd rejects. floyd even publicly said that he doesn't like his fans at all.

The UFC's deal is not comparable.

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

UFC on FOX 1 did much bigger numbers than the first PBC card.

But we can compare it to a different event.

In January, the UFC on FOX 14 did about the same ratings as the Thurman-Guerero card (with 3.049 million).

Yet the UFC paid far less for those ratings. Here are the UFC purses for UFC on FOX 14:

Anthony ***8216;Rumble***8217; Johnson: $156,000 ($53,000 to show, $53,000 win bonus, $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus)

Alexander Gustafsson: $44,000

Compare that to the $5 million Haymon paid out for the PBC card.

Furthermore, the UFC on FOX 14 fight card had 30,000 in attendance with a $3 million gate.

The PBC was giving away free and discounted tickets up to the day of the show.

Oh, I see...aka nut-huggers, ass-kissers, boot-lickers, ect. Well, it's true that Haymon doesn't care about the fans, but he did put up 20 million of his own money for this venture. It would behoove him to strive for its success.

Again with the money thing as if that matters. Boxing is in a different stage right now then Boxing is. UFC was peaking when it landed its Fox deal. Boxing is in a rebuilding process.

Then who the **** was the guy they were poking with spears on the cross?

This is a business, and money always matters in a business.

Not a Haymon supporter but this is great for Boxing and a good start for PBC.
By the way, ¿ whats the main importance on winning the demo ?

[Evil Abed]

Great start. Hopefully the numbers continue to improve. Boxing is going to get a ton of exposure this year.
