    I think that it got very good ratings because of the good fights that were part of the card. Folks on social media got word of the Breazeale KO win and then more tuned in to see that Hurd-Harrison fight, which ended in another KO. Washington's good start kept people watching.
    when ufc on fox does 2 million viewers its considered a flop but when pbc does it its considered good lol

      Agreed...main event was only mismatch of 3 bouts

        Some of the Numbers coming out of the states for the fights have been downright diabolical.
        PPV is increasingly a tough sale in the states. They are much more expensive in the US vs the UK ($60) and streaming has really hurt. So free TV is prob the future for boxing

          Some of the non-PPV fight numbers have been woeful..

          It isnt just PPV, it's the fact that boxing simply doesnt get the promotion it deserves over in the states alot of the time.

            This is true. I confident that the promoters are upping their gAme though as they compete with the UFC

              Yeah...given that there was a couple of other sporting events on at the time the rating they got was very good

                This is true.

                Also UFC gets paid to televise their events on fox.

                PBC pays millions to fox to televise their events.

                So yeah, these numbers are crap once you consider that part, there is still no money being made during these PBC events, these events are a complete loss.
