        ... I don't care... I couldn't find a stream to watch "my kid" Omar in Europe... I had to watch him on YouTube in like 10 minutes after the fight concluded...

          These numbers are horrendous. To give you some context on just how bad not only did FOX finish dead last in ratings they went up against ZERO sporting events and 2 of the major networks aired RERUNS (no original content). Not only is this the worst ratings for PBC on FOX it's the worst primetime network rating for any PBC card. Worst then even the lowest point of PBC on NBC and those ratings stunk causing NBC to pull the plug on PBC.

              average numbers

              It feels like boxing in general is missing something! It lacks the ability to attract casual fans/NEW FANS! People STILL only want to see Mayweather or Pacquiao!

                This is on FOX which is free to every household in america. FOX probably draws higher then 500K at 4 in the morning with folks who fall asleep with the TV on. Under 900K viewers on sat primetime is terrible. Have to look this up but this might literally be one of the worst prime time sporting event ratings. Network shows that draw DOUBLE these ratings get canceled. UFC on FOX worst ratings in their entire history drew 1.74Million viewers on FOX.

                  To be fair it wasn't promoted. I didn't see one commercial on it. Maybe I missed them.

                    Avg? People don't seem to get just how bad this is. The WORST PBC on NBC primetime card drew 1.24M viewers and that ranked one of for the worst alltime

                    PBC continues to take a hit in the ratings department as its latest telecast was among the worst performances ever for a primetime sporting event.


                    Premier Boxing Champions is clearly struggling. The Andrzej Fonfara vs. Joe Smith Jr. card held on primetime NBC this past Saturday was a dud, scoring a 0.8 overnight rating by Sports Media Watch. This number is down 20% from PBC on NBC's previous telecast in April, which scored a 1.0, and down 39% from the show before that, which scored a 1.3 last December.

                    The 0.8 rating is the lowest of nine PBC telecasts which have been held on primetime TV by a major broadcast network. Not only that, but the rating ranks among the lowest ever for a sporting event on primetime broadcast television.
