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

[Scipio2009]

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.



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.

First, you try to compare the absolute number for a broadcast network to the number for the PBC broadcast (now accepting that that comparison was foolish, which is fine.

Secondly, the audience expectations for an advertiser on broadcast TV versus cable TV significantly different, with the rates adjusting accordingly.

The 1m figure for the hour that encompassed the Khan-Algieri fight (after the advertisers saw the strong numbers put up for the prior fight card), delivered more for an advertiser, in all likelihood, than that CBS number did for advertisers over on CBS; you add that Khan-Algieri likely delivered as strong, if not stronger, in the 18-54 demographic (the only audience that advertisers actually care about) and the backpedal works even less.

Why was he supposed to dominate him? Because pac did? Khans no pac. Chris isn't a pushover

That was the public perception and it was supposed to be his Mayweather audition and in the words of Ann Wolfe, I gave it a mutha-***in F.

Look at this slimy sycophant, slowly turning into a Khantard because he's worried that his loverboy might cherry pick him next.

I see you Grubby Handz.

You all are debating about Khan and Brook while I sit and wonder who the hell watches hockey??

[FrankieBruno]

Khan haters and Brook bumsniffers downplaying these numbers



If it was Brook and he did these numbers on Spike, they'd be telling us how much of a international superstar Brook is

Pathetic fanboy.

[pretty boy_]

Khan and Berto should fight each other since they getting similar numbers.

After the way Khan looked against Algeri I would pick Berto to beat him.

[LacedUp]

Both terrific fights, however I don't think Brook beats Pacquiao.

Of course he does, don't be silly. Pacquiao would retire on his stool after taking a few stiff chocolate brownie right hands.

But Brook did do the same numbers vs Porter on Showtime?

I don't know Spike TV at all - but I gather it's terrestrial right? Or cable or whatever.

I might be wrong, but it doesn't sound like a lot to me, especially as Khan was nearly doubling that figure on HBO 4-5 years ago.

It's just obvious to see what your motivation is for suddenly leaping to Khan's defence and vigorously attacking Brook.

It's because you're covering your bases in case Mayweather picks Khan. You're too easy to read, worse than Dunn in terms of being a Mayweather/Haymontard.

What's my motivation? I've always been a fan of both, I haven't just become a Brook fan. In fact, if anything I was more a Khan fan. I picked him to beat Brook when the fight was mooted. I'm just calling it like I see it.
