PBC ratings on CBS

[AgainstTheRopes]

Its investors money you dumb ****.

The pool of money includes Haymon's money. Suppose for a minute it doesnt include Haymon's money,just to get the idea through your pea sized brain, and he is getting a cut...the investors would demand a higher stake in the PBC which would even out.

These ratings and their budgets are a disaster. I honestly dont think this was meant to succeed. Their whole model has been flawed from the beginning by overpaying guys.

lol u honestly have no idea what youre talking about how do you even know what they were expecting for a card like this in the afternoon lmao

[Rip Chudd]

Because they aren't giving compelling matchups for the most part...

And Pbc schedule is all over the place, spikeTV, CBS, showtime, etc. Day, night, Saturdays, Fridays...
Casuals can't follow along with that...

They should have just bought all the airtime off espn and had fights every Friday night.. So people know week in/week out when pbc is going to be on..

Bellator and wwe use that same model and have grown a big following

I agree with this entire post. Good stuff Ali.

A higher stake in PBC? This **** is losing $ on every event, what money you talking about? Every PBC event is a complete financial loss right now.

Stop talking out if your ass if you have no clue what your talking about.

It doesn't matter what they were expecting, these are awful numbers. There no denying that or trying to make it seem not so bad.

The ratings are what's to be expected, you're not going to get big numbers.

The budget is unsustainable though and I question if they are ever going to get the sponsors or the TV contracts down the line that they need to survive past a few years. More and more this looks like a money scheme.

Once again read an article about what the PBC is doing, youre the idiot here and once you read up on it you'll know it.

ESPN numbers, you do the comparison:

"ESPN's most-watched and highest-rated fight across all ESPN networks in 2014 was the May 10 WBC World Heavyweight Championship fight between Bermane Stiverne and Chris Arreola televised on ESPN. The fight saw an average audience of 940,000 viewers (P2+) and delivered a 0.7 HH US rating, making it the highest-rated and most-viewed fight on ESPN and ESPN2 since 2006."

So ESPN's most watched event in 2014 did less numbers than last weekend's CBS PBC event.

The thing with PBC is production and fighter purses are a **** ton higher than ESPN FNF.

Quite a bit worse but its Fnf2 so TV time cheaper, plus their budgets were like 2% of the Pbc ones lol.

Edit: I thought you were asking about Fnf numbers. This HW bout was on ESPN proper

Damn you're right, that HW bout was on a Saturday but then that was still their best boxing ratings on ESPN for all of 2014.
