Comments Thread For: Lomachenko-Pedraza Rating Looking Big For ESPN

Are you a Loma fan?
Plus what did you think of the UFC fight.

Yeah I am.
UFC fights were good Max was amazing. His stand up is unreal. Dude has some skills.

Some context: The fight aired right after the Heisman Trophy ceremony. That definitely gave it a huge boost.

On any other day, I think the fight probably does 800-900K.

That doesn't explain why the number of Heismann Trophy viewers spiked at the very end. I think it was people waiting for for boxing to come on that gave the Heisman trophy a boost.

Then why did it drop and keep dropping with the boxing?

I think it has a lot more to do with the winner being announced? Lolol

I don't watch much UFC but gotta admit that Max has a good striking game for UFC.
He had a title so he must be one of the better guys going around yer?
They would get slaughtered in a square ring but boxers would get dominated in the Octagon so it's no point comparing the two hey.

You do any boxing martial arts.
I've seen the size of you.
You look like you could have the strength to mix it in the AMS heavyweight division.

That was a good card in general.

The fight was scheduled months ago to follow the Heisman Trophy ceremony precisely for the very reason that they knew the audience watching the awards would stay tuned for the fight. It was a fundamental part of Top Rnk’s plan with ESPN and it worked beautifully.

Half way through this fight put me to sleep & I had to catch the replay on espn2....LOL....If Pedraza hit hard l0m0 would of been in trouble.

What does this 1.2 1.4 and 1.5 ratings mean? If those numbers represent 1.2 to 1.5 million viewers it is not that great.

Hell even HBO not so many years ago considered ratings like that the norm.

Is it just me or is audience numbers still on the decline overall?

[DaBeastO]

These are good ratings!
