I feel like the PBC number is biased. The actual Spencer fight got 1.48 million.

Rough night for Haymon. First PBC belly flops with the WORST ratings yet for NBC, ratings that are on par with what the big networks get in prime time when they air reruns of old TV shows. Then the showtime card draws 1/4th the ratings that HBO drew with a OLD fight that people already know the results to.

Showtime boxing is dead they have lost more then half their viewers they had prior to Haymon taking his fighters to PBC. And now that his fighters are coming back to Showtime it has had no impact on the ratings.

Boxing just isn't popular here in the states been that way for a while.

Well its not bad 5.2M people were watching combat sports on Saturday night (3M/MMA, 2.2M/Boxing). Now if we can just get them watching the same mfing show.

HBO is killing showtime whos ratings been in the toilet for over a year now. Strong ratings for a replay fight. Floyd Berto replay did only 587k viewers on showtime for a comparison. Wilder championship fight earlier this year did only 500k. HBO Boxing After Dark fights get mote then that. How Espinoza still has a job with ratings like these is beyond me. Paying more then HBO for most these fights but gets 1/4th the ratings. LMAO

HBO is failing to. They have 1 card till June and it's bum fights. Only casual fans watch that trash.

A lot of competition that date along with the NBA and NHL playoffs.

GGG fight will pull huge ratings(he's not a ppv star but he's a proven cable performer), Vargas Salido card will pull big ratings. And canelo/khan ppv is going to bring hbo a lot of money and even the replay will likely be more then any ratings showtime gets. And you have lomachenko vs Rocky. That's 4 fights set through june. And Luis Ortiz has a mandatory that has to happen before June 23rd. Unless that gets pushed back that's 5 cards all of which I think kills the ratings of any of showtimes upcoming fights.
