Comments Thread For: Lomachenko vs. Rigondeaux Generates Big Rating For ESPN

[Outwest Exp 355]

It was a great card. I liked what I saw from Chris Diaz. Looks like we got another Puerto Rican fighter to keep an eye on. He looked sharp and had power in both hands.

Lomachenko was just spectacular! Crazy to see him make another elite fighter quit like that. He's from another planet!

What was so great about the card? 2/3 of the card was Stevenson and Conlan vs 2 journeyman. What’s so great about that?

pbc had subpar fights, and inconsistent

Even with subpar fights and way less featured coverage, all of PBC ESPN primetime fights out performed all but two of these top rank cards (Manny, and last night).

Some of what you all post here isn't connected to reality lol

Thurman Callazo
Garcia Paulie
LSC Mares

Are just a few fights that pulled bigger ratings than pretty much all of these Top Rank cards. That "featured" coverage on sportscaster and the mini docs are two things that never happened with the PBC cards. Why? Idk but it's not the samething to compare the two.

Stop with the metrics lol and just tell us how many dàmn viewers watched

I noticed that too lol those are percentages (of ages ranges) of the viewing audience. But for some reason they wont post the raw numbers for these cards.

The heisman trophy award show on espn was right before the card which helped the viewership a lot. Ol sneaky bob

If that was a PBC card, everyone would be crying how it was so boring it will make people not watch boxing again. Its all in how you frame it. I bet you the ratings went down as the fight went along. Just like a Lara fight. Great on paper, but not terribly exciting to watch. People were leaving the stands after the third round.

And that was competing against an HBO card. I don't think Pac-Horn had that.

Those are neilson numbers. They take days to calculate if not a week.

I obviously know that but we never get the updated raw numbers for ESPN.
