Great numbers. Dead last in prime time is impressive.

PBC did less than Caught on Camera?!

Damn, I hope that's due to a lack of casual names on the bill.

1.32 is a GREAT number if it's on Spike... Not so much on NBC.

i just about it nailed it on the head yesterday. right around 1 million views with over 120 millions homes available and a random baseball game without big market teams doing more than twice the number on fox.

GGG on HBO in 25% of the households does that number on his own for comparisions sake

So fill me in here, how does that compare with UFC on Fox's numbers? Is that still a thing?

these aren't big name boxers. These are fighters that most don't even know about. The ratings aren't bad at all

yea im sure the people who want to invest in pbc are saying the same thing lmao when can we get in on the boxers no one knows about action!

My main problem with PBC is that its just too much change too fast. We knew to look for boxing on Fridays on ESPN and Saturdays on HBO and Showtime for a decade man. All of a sudden theres no fights on ESPN fridays, Showtimes goes silent for six months, and there's random ass cards on Spike, NBC, CBS, ESPN on random weekdays or worse weekend afternoons. Who has time to keep up with this shit?

I still don't understand why they don't always put the bigger names on the NBC primetime spots. I mean, it turned out to be a good card but Joe Smith vs Fonfara as the main event isn't exactly turning any heads.

Great point. So just as many people are familiar with Fonfara and Joe Smith Jr as they are with GGG. And more people are familiar with Fonfara and Joe Smith Jr than they are with:

Ward vs Barrera (1.062 mil)

Crawford vs Lundy (9862)

Lomachenko vs Martinez (613k)

Vargas vs Salido (833k)

Kovalev vs. Pascal (1.17 mil)

Luis Ortiz vs Tony Thompson (740k)

And Danny Garcia doubles GGG's numbers whenever he's on network TV.
