Its not free like FOX or CBS, or even ESPN is. It's a premium channel that costs an extra $15 a month to have..

And is not even available in Canada shall I add unlike HBO (though boxing is dying on HBO, we need Showtime badly boxing wise up north)!

Good ratings

Another great match up and top 10 rating for PBC, yet some lames are still complaining about it

[PACnPBFsuck]

Good

Here we go with the ratings war again. If you check any boxing event on premium cable or free TV this whole year these numbers would probably match up well. However, on this site we can't even agree on the color of the sky on any given day. Apparently, we should all be in the television business because we're all experts on what constitutes good or bad ratings.

Considering Broner vs Garcia was on Showtime and up against a major UFC PPV event the numbers were outstanding!

Good numbers for a premium cable channel card

The Movie Network package shows showtime fights no?

Not live fights to my knowledge, maybe "reruns" through the on-demand service.

I don't think you get what context means. It was a great figure for Showtime, esp on a night when the UFC had a super-stacked card running with several belts on the line. Now matter how you want to spin it, it was still a good number.

Charlo faced a really soft touch, who was injured to boot. Mikey is Boxings best kept secret as far as casually. Broner is a legit boxer. Yet on the same night as a stacked card with Tyron, Cyborg, DC and JBJ? For a sport that's dead, it constantly puts up good numbers.


Its comical because Tyron made like 500K and Adrien made 1 Million. Its a interesting dynamic

If Boxing is dead, UFC is a rotting corpse with worms picking off all the flesh..
