PBC on NBC ratings from Saturday

[joseph5620]

These threads oughta get bookmarked. New year, same delusion. Feel free to join reality at anytime. A world where the Showtime-Mayweather deal wasn't an epic flop. Where Stephen Espinoza didn't get canned. Where Oscar didn't sink the Haymon Naval Base. He needs to worry about his own sinking ship instead of this new silly lawsuit. And of course, some of you actually believe this second case might finish Haymon for good smh. In the real world, Haymon has a 20yr proven track record in boxing. And has now secured the biggest TV deal the sport has ever seen to go along with an astounding roster of fighters. The schedule seems to be loaded with fights everywhere. Just why as a boxing fan are you complaining?

You'll never get a truthful answer to that.

You camt put 2 unknown black fighters on TV and expect people to trip over themselves to watch.

Hardcore fans don't give a crap about dirrel, why should the average sports fan.

I have no clue why Haymon is wasting $ amd tv dates on fights like that.

But maybe it shows why he hasn't built any real stars in his entire career.

Well I was one of the 900k and I enjoyed it. Bring on the next one. 2 spike shows then AB vs Shawn P

[i'm a fun haver]

Fight should've been in the UK anyways

Fight should've been in the UK anyways

If there is one thing I have no under sting of, it's why Haymon continues to put fights in places that make no sense.

Dirrell vs Degale in Boston...

WTF?

[Cinci Champ]

How could anyone expect big ratings for this one? Dirrell fell off the map years ago and has done little since, and nobody over here knew who Degale was.

Cannot blame Degale, as he has never been showcased over here. Dirrell you can blame, because he no longer has a name. Fighters need to be active. Sit on your a$$ long enough and people will not care.

plus people are forgetting they sold the rights to be viewed in england thats where the money was

[Sugar Adam Ali]

I don't care...

Degale-dirrell was a top notch fight and delivered... If any casual watched it, they were more entertained than in the floyd-manny fight...

PBC has to continue to make compelling matchups for it to survive

[Mike D]

Well that's what happens when u have fights in the day time on the least watched of cables basic channels

Yeah boxing has enough issues as it is with ratings, but a day slot is only ensure that the ratings are going to be poor

[daggum]

only .9 people watched it? they couldn't get 1 person?

[Ringlife]

I enjoyed watching the fight in the afternoon, sometimes I just want to get it out of the way so I can do the family thing later, I mean we have had like six weekends in a row. So its kind of nice to have them afternoon fights once in a while.
