[#CaneloKhan]

this just goes to prove the fans rather watch exciting fights then so called slick cowards.

Guerrero has to get a real trainer dad took him as far as he can. He has to reinvent himself like Barrera learned and he had pop. Mindless brawling is no style he will be a stepping stone. Plus he can't compete with welters no pop. Great story and family time asap

Thank you for that. Good website, I see the Belmont Stakes did a 12.3 overnight rating which seems huge. And the women's French Open final did a 1.88 metered market rating.

So all in all the boxing numbers aren't super great in comparison but at least they did go up.

timeslot has a lot to do with it. Also keep in mind that this fight was more like a decent undercard fight than a main event. I almost feel like Haymon is purposely trying to simulate a gradual decline in ratings by making increasingly weak cards.

His approach is bizarre but why would he do that?

RG vs Josesito Lopez or Errol Spence next.

These numbers are not good. Compared to other sporting events and the massive amount spent on the fight purses and the promotion, and the amount that is paid for the time slot to NBC. PBC spent a lot of money and by the empty seats at the arena they made nothing at the gate. But sure it's a slight bump from the last show problem is the last show got terrible ratings. So I guess that's an improvement but not much was needed to be better.

Yup the time was a major issue. 3pm east coast time on sat when the card is on the west coast. No wonder nobody showed up.

Shocked by that, I expected awful numbers for this one because it wasn't a card anybody was excited leading up to it to be honest and rightfully so because on paper it was suppose to be mismatches and Ghost was suppose to just blast his guy away.

But good for PBC I guess hopefully more bigger match ups are coming over the summer. I think Guerrero returning after impressing fans in his PBC Debut likely had something to do with that! But PBC please stop with the damn Afternoon Boxing! I'm just not a fan of it, it doesn't have the same feel as a Primetime Boxing Event. But Maybe they do that to grab the attention of a different Audience and not us the Boxing Fans who are already fans of the sport

It prob did good because so many people watched the thurman fight and remembered the ghost
