Lara is the third highest ratings draw on PBC's "free" cable and second highest on PBC's Premium cable since 2016. That's damn good.
Lara's ratings keep on increasing. People keep on saying that after every fight, but it never happens.Originally posted by bigdramashow View PostComment

How are people buying this spin?
500k on Spike is atrocious. Comparing Spike numbers to HBO and Showtime is pure idiocy as those are premium networks.Comment

It's not, especially when everyone here and the boxing media said they would not be watching and instructed others to do the same.Originally posted by j0zef View PostComment

This^^^^ Spike is not competing with HBO/Showtime who get paid off subscribers and not commercial time. Totally different business model and ****** to compare. hell 500K on premium cable would be bad numbers too even if you did. But on basic cable this is terrible. Reruns of Cops that cost NOTHING do better ratings then this on friday nights on Spike. The real news here is Spike is not improving their ratings. They are not building their audience. They have just ****** so much that people just lowered the bar. FNF fights featuring UNKNOWN prospects and journey men low level fights not on the main ESPN channel but ESPN2 with a shoestring budgets paying all the fighters less then 50K total drew almost 400K viewers during this exact same time slot before PBC. So don't tell me drawing 500K paying Lara alone more then ESPN paid all their fighters in 1 year is a success. Spike debuted PBC with 879K ratings for perspective. Fanboys were saying this is just the beginning watch how these numbers rise and get better. They didn't they leveled out and now 500K is basically the best you can hope on a nightly basis just to get slightly better then FNF fights ratings but with 10X budget where the event loses money.Originally posted by j0zef View PostLast edited by bigdunny1; 01-20-2017, 02:41 PM.Comment

why are some of you guys comparing Spike numbers with showtime? Showtime has about 23 mio subscribers, Spike network has around 98.7 mio subscribers. So you cant just directly compare these numbers.
For a better picture you need to compare his numbers with other boxing events on Spike.

3/13/2015 869,000
4/24/2015 569,000
5/22/2015 772,000
6/12/2015 446,000
8/14/2015 679,000
9/11/2015 581,000
10/16/2015 315,000
11/13/2015 466,000
4/1/2016 873,000
4/29/2016 513,000
7/29/2016 531,000
8/27/2016 507,000
9/9/2016 547,000
So his numbers are ok for PBC on Spike, but they are by no means good.Last edited by asgarth; 01-20-2017, 02:49 PM.Comment
