Comments Thread For: Spence-Bundu Bout Draws PBC Network-Record 6 Million Viewers

This is really terrific news for the PBC. Perhaps they should start hosting weekend matinee cards more often on the television networks, rather than the usual prime time ones. This event was a ratings bonanza, in comparison to their other television network cards.

They did that already

And none of them will be back because the fight sucked so bad. Al Haymon just continues to use this golden opportunity to bring boxing back to the masses to instead turn the masses off of boxing forever.

Maybe that's his plan though? If he can kill the sport, maybe he views that as saving future boxers from head trauma, or something. "There's nothing cool about taking punishment" after all so maybe there's just nothing cool about boxing?

Maybe this whole time Haymon's goal has been to make as much money as possible for himself and the current boxers, while also killing the sport in order to save future boxers from taking punishment?

So stop watching. Im sure no one will care

Confirm or Deny.

All roads, indeed, lead to Errol Spence.

or maybe the untapped italian boxing market in america thanks to leonard banku stew

the first pbc show was the highest since 1998.. assuming this is true, it probably passed that or equaled it

"
STAMFORD, Conn. – Mar. 9, 2015 – Saturday night’s debut of the Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on NBC was the most-watched professional boxing broadcast since 1998, according to Fast National Data from The Nielsen Company.

The PBC on NBC telecast averaged 3.4 million viewers, ranking as the most-watched professional boxing broadcast in 17 years (“Oscar De La Hoya’s Fight Night” on FOX, 5.9 million, Mon., March 23, 1998)."

Wade vs Golovkin was 150 to 1 mismatch you hypocrite. As a matter of fact there weren't 100 to 1 mismatches till Golovkin vs Rubio. Tyson vs Douglas was 52 to 1.

I think Chavez got 12 million on Fox in 97, this did more than Oscar.

Nice, forgot about that. So PBC has had the most watched fight in the US in 17 years in 2015 & now longer than 18 years since it sounds like this one did more than the 5.9M in March 1998.

Cmon "PBC is going out of business any day now" guys lets be fair & see these impressive results for being impressive results that show boxing has some viability on regular TV.
