Could of swore Spence did 6.3 million views on NBC...

How many views did wilder thurman Santa Cruz etc do on fox or nbc. ? Any of them break 4 mil?

[killakali]

I think even the most competitive fights on FOX will register no more than 3.5M viewer averages. (Peak audiences could get close to 5M though)

However FOX will be very happy with anything over 2M on average.

fox and Espn will be happy with over 2 million. Just fox is in a lot more homes than espn so they need a little bigger number

This is huge for Crawford and his popularity. ESPN is putting him all over their social media as well. This is a huge number for boxing in US.

hrah. Do. How many more hundreds of thousands of views did they get by people watching on espn deportes or streaming on the app?

That's kind of my point. There's also a demographic play here as well that goes into the question on ratings. I think what's smart here is the idea of having a captive audience (football fans) and coupling them with content that speaks to that demographic (boxing/combat sports).

One thing I never understood on HBO was why would you couple boxing with some rom com or drama film when the demos aren't aligned? It was weird to me. I felt like it should've always been an action movie as lead in.

Why? Fox and nbc couldn’t do when pbc had big fights on both networks and they are in a lot more homes than ESPN.

Hell the Alabama game didn’t even have 4 million viewers

And that’s why I said we’re in trouble. I said boxing not any specific network/promoter. Pbc included

Dude give me a break lol. You can't be that naive..

You really believe 6 million people tuned in to see Spence vs. Algeri? 😂😂😂

That's really good. Even better than some fox numbers

I believe Mares/ Santa Cruz did around 3 million on ESPN and ESPN deportes for their fight.

How many did Bud and Loma do on HBO? Did they even break 1 million?

Pretty easy to knit pick if you want to isn't it?

Great Numbers but YES the Alabama Game helped those Ratings just like the Olympics helped Spence Jr vs Bundu Ratings!

Alabama vs Missouri right be before Crawford fight Drew

3,758,000 viewers.

So yeah you get ratings by default from people either leaving after the game and leaving their Boxes on ESPN as well as fans waiting around for College Football Highlights after and getting to see Crawford by Default which is a Win/Win either way

This is where boxing can benefit by being integrated and thrown in next to far more popular sports! FOX should do the same and put on PBC Boxing maybe after a NFL Playoff Game in January.

Also Genius putting Lomachenko on December 8th right after the Heisman Trophy Presentation! Should also do Good Ratings!
