... the card was on ESPN2... so you should probably compare it to what Friday Night Fights was drawing -
I'll compare it to the trash that PBC aired last summer. Quigley-Tapia was better than all of those fights, yet it still did worse in the ratings department. What is Golden Boy doing wrong?Originally posted by Scipio2009 View PostComment

Herring vs Shafikov says "what's up", lol. Jason Quigley, three years into his run as a professional, was taking on his third "faded challenger on the way out", and almost got got.Originally posted by Pigeons View Post

Probably not totally fair to compare it to FNF, yet...if this GBP series was coming right on the heels of FNF after it ended, maybe you could....but FNF has been off for two years.Originally posted by Scipio2009 View Post

Someone's still hoping ESPN cancels the GBP deal.Originally posted by The Big Dunn View Post
Hows the letter writing campaign going?Comment

Not to be a jerk about it, but weren't the 2014 ESPN boxing numbers skewed by the fact that Klitschko-Leapai was carried by ESPN? Beyond that, given compelling fights, PBC on ESPN has seemingly been able to show that the audience on ESPN for boxing could end up being 4 times the audience on ESPN2, at the least.Originally posted by Mitchell Kane View Post
FNF had been a staple of boxing on ESPN2 for years (with the last few not being all that good, but whatever); if the historical audience numbers for FNF were basically 300k viewers (a five-year look back should be possible), that should logically be the target for Golden Boy, imo (especially if the eventual plan, I'd hope, would be to take over the old FNF placement on ESPN2 to develop their prospects into assets that Golden Boy could possibly take to HBO).
250k, from what you've listed about the old FNF numbers, is as good a start as any; keep the matchups solid (the first two cards seemed to be properly matched affairs), and the audience will settle into the habit of tuning in to watch good prospect fights on ESPN2Comment
