PBC on spike averaged just below 600k on Friday

Nobody knows, but I assume a lot

Oh, so the answer is just nobody knows then. In other words people are talking nonsense to smear the show.

Every fighter on every PBC show to date has been vastly overpaid. There is no reason to believe this one was any different.

[Tay Roc]

Shouldn't be a surprise. The card wasn't that good plus playoffs

Game was a blowout doe.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Crap card and the ratings prove it.... Spike tv got rid of TNA wrestling and they were averaging roughly a million viewers a week...

I wonder how it compares to other fights on Friday spike like kickboxing and bellator

[Eastcoast]

Friday night, Spike TV, no big names with no real fan following - numbers were fine for what it was. PBC's still not even a quarter in to their first year, and wasn't expected to really take off til into the fourth year.

Biggest mistake was not having this card in either Detroit or Brooklyn. Could've built some crowd excitement into the fight.

Spike will naturally do less than networks like NBC imo, at least until it truly catches steam.

Spike can gain all the steam in the world and will never catch NBC as far as PBC goes. NBC wins that by default just by sheer exposure alone from being a giant national network channel.

Spike is like a peanut compared to an elephant (NBC).

Yeah I agree. All things considered (names on the card, a Friday night, etc.) 600K ain't that bad for a tiny network like Spike.

Haymon over pays everyone to get them on board, no one is trying to smear anything. There's probably validity to badou being paid 200k and if that's true dirrell got much more and I'm sure jacobs did too. This is a 100k card, max, costing over a half a mil. It's not not rocket science.

peeps are jealous that we out here making cheddar

Think you can direct me to that interview?

200k doesn't sound that bad actually, but yea... I expect Anthony to have gotten much much more

In this Swedish newspaper Badou Jack confirms that his team got 1.8 million SEK.
