PBC on Spike: Entire telecast averaged 772k viewers and a 0.3 adults 18-49 rating

Good joke I enjoy watching Lara to each his own.

I enjoy rigo, but Lara not so much.

Any fighter that is constantly 2-3 arms lengths away from there opponent has no place on my tv.

The main event is what matters in boxing. Each fight on the undercard is so long they're practically their own seperate show, unless the undercard had an equally known name then the over all rating is kind of irrelevent. People tuned in to see the show they wanted to see.

Tell me what is irrelevant about it? Advertising rates are set by ratings compared against other programming that is on at the same time, not on historical boxing broadcasts. IF you are spending over $2 million to put on a boxing show, you have to sell more than $2 million in advertising to make a profit. You sure as hell are not going to make that with under 1 million average viewers.

Anyways, it's the same old argument. Some of us look at the reality of the situation and Haymon butt buddies think he is a god and can do nothing wrong. Time will tell who is right and who is wrong.

Advertising rates are set differently for different media. The rates negotiated for broadcast TV (NBC/CBS/ABC/Fox/etc) are different than the rates negotiated for cable (ESPN/Spike/TNT/etc), which are different from the rates for digital cable (NBCSN/Nat Geo/Destination America/etc) or satellite channels.

Then again, you're not that ****** a person and this is another attempt to troll.

1.2mil....

Khan gets people to tune in. Half to cheer, half hoping to see him get KTFO. The bottom line remains he is a draw.

*edit

Error on my part.
THe 773k was for the entire telecast. The Main even AVG'd much higher at a million

Live airing of #KhanAlgieri bout had average audience of 1M viewers on @spike. Peaked at 1.12M. They all saw a helluva fight! #boxing

The only people who care about the ratings are the people who want to see Haymon fail because they think that Haymon's failure will vicariously be a failure for Floyd Mayweather.

We saw a good fight between evenly matched competitors. That is more than anyone can say about those two farces between Golovin and Willie Munore Jr. and Alvarez-Kirkland. In fact, it is more than we have seen from Bob Arum and GBP in the last two years.

I don't give a damn what the ratings were. I don't care about the ratings for the last PBC fight and I don't care about the ratings for the next PBC fight. Haymon is providing us good, competitive fights and I will take that any day over Golovkin vs the-bum-of-the-month.

I will ask the same question that I have asked 50 times since PBC premiered. Why the hell do YOU care about PBC's ratings, its advertising rates or its profitability?

spot on......

1.0-1.2 is a pretty good number on Spike I think the highest so far.

People need to understand that the show might cost 2 mill plus buy time but they have multiple sources of revenue to offset the cost ( Advertising , International rights , Ticket Revenue )

Khan fans though please stop these numbers don't jusify sh.it . Thurman pulled in 4 million plus , Garcia did 3.5 or something like that. Both are more deserving of a Mayweather fight

advertising revenue on PBC broadcasts is non-existent and ticket sales probably barely cover the cost of the venue, if that, considering that they usually end up giving more than half away for free and even so, they cannot even get a half full house. International rights are a drop in the bucket.

Advertising rates are set differently for different media. The rates negotiated for broadcast TV (NBC/CBS/ABC/Fox/etc) are different than the rates negotiated for cable (ESPN/Spike/TNT/etc), which are different from the rates for digital cable (NBCSN/Nat Geo/Destination America/etc) or satellite channels.

Yes, advertising costs are different depending on the type of broadcaster. It is much cheaper to advertise on a cable station than on a broadcast network. This makes the ratings even more important to drive the prices higher. So while the point you are trying to make is in fact correct, it is not in your favour.

[big_james10]

Ya its too much, to many shows, to many channels, it's more than I want or need to be quite honest.

You know its bad when your paying a TV network to televise a Elislandry Lara fight, I wouldn't even go to that show for free let alone watch it on tv.

I'm kind of burned out by the sport at this point.

If you feel this way, you should stop watching boxing and stop posting on boxing message boards. However, I would bet everything that I own that this doesn't happen!
