He should have been fighting on PBC

[Phenom]

PBC is building a fan base for these fighters some respectable numbers for the main events hopefully other promotes see the value in that

no doubt about it..for watever reason they are trying to keep showtime happy or just dont have enough slots....u dont wont wilder on spike or fox...either espn cbs or nbc...but if u dont have those dates u take him to showtime..thats how pbc is working

i dont know if the last wilder that we saw would have made fans tho...his skill set lived up to nbc last night..not last fight...so good call for pbc

Thurman-Guerrero (Last hour averaged 3.462M)

Garcia-Peterson (Last hour averaged 3.019M)

Broner-Porter (Last hour averaged 2.843M)

Wilder-Duhaupas (Last hour averaged 2.365M)


PBC needs to reverse this trend of diminishing returns. Khan-Garcia 2, Thurman-Porter, Wilder-Povetkin... fights like that.

Advertisers largely only care about that adults 18-49 (male 18-49 vs female 18-49, depending on the product being sold), so I'd figure that the folks behind PBC are mainly concerned with just that number; good to have a source that lists the full picture.

As long as that 18-49 number is strong and growing, PBC should be fine (holding up against college football bodes pretty well for PBC).

Very impressive (especially with College Football being on)

Wilder's next opponent should be Ustinov in the beginning of next year. Then if he wins that go for the winner of Wlad/Fury

18-49 rating has decreased each show as well, but obviously there's different competition depending on the time of the year; 1.1, 0.8, 0.7, 0.5.

His next opponent will be Povetkin, his mandatory defense. After that, he will no longer have his title and can go back to fighting unranked bums.

These are really good #s no doubt. And no matter how you try to slice it, Wilder had 2.365 eyes on him last night.

Most likely Haymon sees this # and believes that if he can put Wilder in with a virtual unknown and do decent #s, he'll continue to do so. PBC has done absolutely nothing to suggest otherwise. Although good for PBC its not necessarily good for the fans, Haymon will have no reason to match his best guys against each other if they can get these kind of #s for crap matches. Myself i wont support PBC until we start getn the fights we want, and those of a similar stance..its getn close!

I will add that although decent #s, the ratings suggest PBC is on a steady decline from card to card. That tells me Haymon is gonna have to make these fights eventually or nobody will watch or have a reason to = PBC dies.

what was he on, Showtime? sounds like great numbers whatever channel it was on

[-DSG-]

Numbers are getting worse because the fights are getting worse.
