We only see these types of numbers when HBO and Showtime go head-to-head and split the audience. Something else had to have been on for these numbers to be so ugly.
Was there HBO last week too?
Dunno what was on last week, but the Degale/Bute numbers were abysmal too.... don't think they've officially released it yet
No way can that be right! They actually put in some advertising for this fight, had an All-Access, and it started at 9pm. That would be worse than DeGale/Bute.
Edit: I did wonder with the fight being less than 1 round, how/if that would impact the numbers.
Sure that hurts the number... but that'd mean so little people were watching leading up to the fight.
I don't think an argument can be made for it doing that bad because it was one round. If the number was higher sure.... but if this is true, moot point

Yeah along with the Pac-12 Championship game there was also the ACC Championship game, Big 12 Championship game and even the Mountain West Championship. These were the late games

With these sorts of ratings and the recent change in HBO administration, maybe it's time that Haymon/HBO start playing nice with each other? Maybe it's time for Haymon to leave SHO Boxing behind and focus on PBC.

I assume the 386k AVG was around the main even start time since it's a 7 minute range
