PBC on NBC averages 2M viewers. HBO Championship Boxing averages 1.3M

Yes. But raw numbers are raw numbers. For example, Crawford's last fight did roughly a million viewers. Figueroa last fight did 1.8M. So 800,000k people more people know who Figueroa is than Crawford. You want your fighters to get maximum exposure. PBC's B level fighters are getting more exposure than HBO's A level fighters.

how about PBC a level fighters on showtime championship boxing doing numbers less than half of HBO championship boxing numbers or the low numbers from NBC SPorts network

A "raw numbers" approach is flawed to begin with. Nobody cares about 800k who can't afford HBO. They don't buy PPV nor do they do much discretionary spending on the sport.

If Boxing is going to get back to 4 million + viewers they better hope the heavyweight division gets better soon

It just means that on average 800k boxing fans can't afford HBO. It's easily $100 for a package that includes HBO where you can get a package with NBC and cbs for like $14 a month. You are comparing apples to oranges my friend

HBO has about 114 million total members according to Bloomberg
That means over 110 M members don't give a **** about boxinf

I'm not sure what members are, but HBO has less than 30 million subscribers in the US.

I don't PBC is looking to make PPV's. If you look at the commercials run during the shows most, if not all, aren't boxing commercials. Another thing people don't realize is that these aren't time-buys in the traditional sense of the word. NBC has invested money into this venture. The truth of the matter is none of us know exactly what's going on but I don't think it's as bad as people are saying.

Spike TV is doing as well if not better than HBO Boxing After Dark. I think that's a good comparison to make because both cards usually show prospects or B to low A level fighters. I'll do that comparison later.

I haven't did the Bounce TV, NBCSN, ESPN, FS1 numbers yet. I'm going to try and do the comparisons over the next week or so. I'm trying to figure out how to do those because of the number of shows.

If you count their streams and international channels that might add up.
