PBC on Fox overnight ratings peak at 996K

It's just the overnight. They'll increase. It's ok for a Saturday night summer. The other shows on the other 3 networks did a shade over 2 & 3 million.

Yeah, for a boxing event, that's pretty good, no?

Oh spare us the "wisdom of the fans" claptrap. The biggest mismatch of the year will probably break all PPV records

We should thank Bob Arum for saving boxing.

Damn the ratings, let's talk about the three straight knockouts! They probably would've had better ratings if they didn't have to use so many fillers for time management. It was also nice that it didn't clash with HBO. Always refreshing to have back to back triple headers, that you can finish one and on to the next.

Good numbers for a card of this magnitude surely?.

Who was it that fought?

Was it the Figueroa v Guerrero card? I forgot all about that card, I was more interested in Berchelt-Miura.

I'm surprised it got 900k+.

Terrible ratings. Dead last in network ratings and last in every demographic stat. It's also not only the worst prime time PBC on FOX card but according Jake it's the worst prime time network PBC card period. Tweeted from Jake Donovan JakeNDaBox

Barring a historic spike between now and Tuesday, last nights #PBConFox will land as the lowest-rated prime time boxing telecast on free TV.

This wasn't a Pacqiuao vs Horn card where there's an out & out star headlining. I think it's all about context & it's decent numbers for those involved. A million people tuned in to watch Omar & a shop won Robert.

A million didn't watch it avg barely over 900k for the entire telecast. These are horrible numbers in context to what networks do on prime time. FOX and these big networks draw over 1m viewers for reruns that they air when they don't have original live content.

It's also a bad trend PBC on FOX started with 2.2m viewers and basically gotten worse ratings then the previous card each time out bottoming out under 1m viewers. This is the same trend that happened on NBC before they pulled the plug with the exception that NBC started with higher ratings (3.4m) then FOX started with. NBC bottomed out at 1.2m viewers this is much worse then the falloff we saw on NBC. The fact that PBC despite the dead summer with little other sporting competition decided to give FOX such a crap headliner in Guerrero/Figueroa is also telling. Like they just throwing cheap cards because their timebuy is about to end in a few months. This is what PBC did with ESPN and NBC down the stretch as well gave weak fights because they knew they weren't getting a TV deal and didn't want to waste more money on better fights.
