PBC on NBC ratings and Demographics

[Hougigo]

i'm 50/50 with PBC.

Hoping they don't do the numbers they like to the point that they work with stars outside of Haymon's stable and we get the best fighting the best

[Skip Bayless]

a lot of casuals watched last night

it was a great look for the sport

haymon is owed credit

i wish in the uk we'd start airing fights on itv again

that would be pointless, aint no casual staying up till 3 am to watch garcia/peterson

Making a star at WW shouldn't be hard since he has a majority of the names there... gonna be hard elsewhere if he's not willing to play outside his stable.

Well the plan certainly is not without it's issues, and that would be my big issue with trying to implement a UFC style model in boxing because there is a big ass boxing world.

I want to see how PBC interacts with the outside boxing world in time, right now they are establishing so it makes sense to stay in house quite a bit but there will constantly be other guys out there that people want to see and are the goods.

If PBC tries to totally isolate itself it will probably not work as good as it should. That is a medium to long term issue though I reckon.

It is a constant as the number goes down the number dropping off also goes down by the same amount. So no it will not almost be nothing by show 8 off the top of my head it would be like 1.75 million if it continues to go down by 10% constantly.

In terms of build stars they would still be above HBO in eyeballs, and boxing is a star driven business the more stars you can build faster the better off you are.

Building a star takes money, and most guys fail to reach that level. However, a true star pays back that money 10 fold.

This is about making stars not about making money, when they have the stars then you make money.

It's not going to keep dropping by 10% though. It will fluctuate based on star power, action, advertising.

One of the commercials that stood out during the Garcia vs Peterson fight was...

Disney Live!
Three Classic Fairy Tales
April 24-26
Agganis Arena
At Boston University

...I wonder how much they paid for that spot.

I know that, nothing happens in a vacuum. It will also depend on what is going against them those nights and there will be a hard floor of boxing fans.

Boston university? Seems more of like a regional thing instead of national to me

You might be right...and their presentation looks like this:

"Step into a world of wonder where dreams come true in Disney Live! presents Three Classic Fairy Tales Presented by Stonyfield YoKids Organic Yogurt. Join Mickey and Minnie as they bring the timeless fairy tale adventures of Cinderella, Beauty and The Beast, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to life in a live theatrical experience that is pure magic.

There’s a world of enchantment waiting for you right in your hometown!"


...one of the questions I ask me is if this show really was suitable to advertise when Peterson was hammering Garcia's face?
