Comments Thread For: DeGale-Dirrell on PBC Sees Minor Overnight Rating Dip

[Barcham]

Yeah, we have gotten more boxing on tv over the past 2 months as compared to the previous 6 months. Yeah, us as "boxing fans" should be very upset that we are getting so many fights on tv on a weekly basis. How dare Haymon do this to us.

That makes no difference to the fact that this enterprise is doomed to failure as soon as the investors decide to stop supplying the money. Haymon will keep the purses as high as possible during this time so that he can continue to pad his personal fortune and let fools continue to argue about the merits of the PBC. Haymon is laughing all the way to the bank.

Only one that might be good

Dont know enough about Mohammedi.

Geale may surprise but no one looking forward to it or asking for it.

Rest are crap but hey we get ring walks, which is really important apparently

Cotto/Geale will surprise people, I think. I expect a good fight. Herrera/Lundy will be good.

The Saturday afternoon debut of PBC (Premier Boxing Champions) on NBC from May 23 saw a marginal dip in ratings from a similarly aired edition on CBS earlier this month.

The live card from Boston—which saw James ‘Chunky’ DeGale score a unanimous decision over Andre Dirrell—drew a 0.85 overnight rating according to Nielsen Media Research. Such numbers generally trend upwards for sporting events, as final Nielsen numbers will not be made available until Wednesday morning due to the holiday weekend.
