Comments Thread For: Crawford-Benavidez ESPN Show Averaged 2.245 Million Viewers

Crazy number for an entire show. I wonder what the fights did individually. The thing about HBO and Showtime is that they release ratings for individual fights (opening bell through the result being announced). ESPN, FOX, NBC, etc. provide the average rating for the entire telecast start to finish. This leads to inflated ratings for HBO and Showtime.

Great numbers long may it continue boxing is booming

Well there's also differences in platform views v. live views. So we could parse numbers a lot of ways lol

The premium cable networks often release weekly platform views for their content, but we haven't seen that for boxing in a long time. The content should really be assessed relative to the networks business model, but then that takes us into a whole new world of understanding the ratings lol just my initial reaction to your point, not debating

This should convince then to stop putting Crawford on the app.

Those are good numbers. I'm glad they tuned in for a entertaining fight.

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

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

thats true. They could have lost viewers during the delay between fights.

Folks first watched Alabama beat up on Missouri and then stayed up to watch Bud beat up on Benavidez.
