Overnight ratings for Wilder vs. Arreola 1.57 Mil

[RussB23]

For boxing to become mainstream again, they need to stop putting fights on PPV. PBC is great and all but they need to put **** like crawford vs postol on regular CBS. They need the biggest names in the sport consistently fighting on primetime for boxing to become popular once again. Basketball and NFL are so popular because you dont have to pay **** to see it

It would have been a lot more if Povetkin wasn't a drug cheat.

Damn thats low, why don't you Americans watch boxing?

Was it because of the mismatch?

These ratings are really low. 3rd FOX card and the overnight rating worse then each of the previous. PBC debuted on FOX with entire show avg rating of 2.24m for Garcia vs gurrerro. Then a few months back did 1.51m for berto vs ortiz. this weekend they did 1.45m. More disturbing is FOX now like NBC is seeing that the longer PBC airs on their network the worse the ratings get. Each NBC card has gotten worse rating the previous one just like FOX but it took NBC over a year and like 6 shows before their ratings dipped into the 1.4m range. Something FOX has now done in just half a year with just 3 shows.
