These are the final numbers...Nielsen tracks broadcast OTA channels in real time.

No they're not and no they don't

NASCAR is the 4th most popular spectator sport in America after the NFL, MLB, and NCAA football.

Baseball rules my household but today the Masters is on. Spieth having a tourney but Rose on tail. Makes me want to get back out there

Anyway I watched and enjoyed the fights. Helping the demographic

Talk to a few clients in mid/south states and nascar is big. I tried to watch but its not for me. Heard its a blast to go though

Harris Poll from this year: car racing 4th, boxing 9th (not sure if boxing includes MMA).

Boxing will never reach NASCAR status so these numbers are solid.

I'm hoping Spieth represents for the Longhorns and Texas today.

The fights were a lot better than their first show on nbc. To me the production was better and the commentary wasn't as horrid as their first showing

Yep this is a country with mostly white people and that is a white dominated sport.

It doesn't have anything to do with race. It has everything to do with education and income.

When it comes to auto racing, the highest percentages of Americans who consider this their favorite sport exist amongst adults who have completed high school or less (12%) and those with household incomes under $35,000 (12%). One in ten Southerners, *************, and rural area residents also consider auto racing to be number one (10% each). Concurrently, college graduates (2%), adults with household incomes of $75k or more (2%), and Millennials (4%) are the least likely to be such strong admirers of auto racing.

NASCAR has stadiums that sit 100,000 plus people with ease. They have a large number of hardcore fans so to me, being from the south, those numbers don't surprise me at all. I've gone to one event at the TXMS and the way they party throughout the weekend is intense. Free parking, byob and cheap food has brought in a ton of new fans to their stadiums and to their couches to watch the events on tv.

As far as those numbers go for PBC, good for them. 3 mil compared to maybe 750-900k that they would've gotten on Sho is a big win for them. This second go round was far better than their first, imo

I think going to a live NASCAR event would be some decent fun, but I have no idea how people watch it on TV and get amped.

The numbers are growing which is a good sign. Can't believe that many people watch NASCAR though, has to be one of the most boring sports to watch on TV as far as I'm concerned.

People watch NASCAR hoping to see a massive crash. Have some boxing matches where someone gets all bloody and carried out on a stretcher and the ratings will triple for the next show.

Boxing will never reach NASCAR status so these numbers are solid.

Boxing will never reach the numbers of NASCAR or any major league sport. It is a fringe sport and will remain so. It is nice to have it on free television again but let's not try to make it into something it is not. There was a reason we used to see fighters with advertising for on line casinos on their backs in the past or have people forgotten those days already?

Sorry buddy but blacks and Latinos don't watch that stuff!
