    That's bad numbers especially for a channel that's in every single American household.

    This fight didn't need to be on Fox.

      This is pretty common. Live boxing regularly gets beat out in the ratings even by reruns all the time.

        For THE SPORT OF BOXING those ratings are OK

        But that 18-34 and 18-45 Demographic...I think ALL OF BOXING Should be concern with their Audience being OLDER and them struggling with get that younger Demo to watch the sport of boxing. Yes it effects DAZN and ESPN+ as well because that 18-34 Demo are the ones who use APPS more and if they not into the sport in the US then who the hell is going to Subscribe to DAZN and ESPN+ for boxing?

        The Sport of Boxing is not in a good space in the US despite all the money being spent on it. Lets hope that changes but it is a uphill battle for ALL OF THEM

        This was a FS1 Quality fight not "Big FOX" Network!

        How do you reach that younger Demo? A Quality Boxing Video Game like every other sport including WWE Wrestling releases one every year Every Sport has a Video Beside Guess What? BOXING!

          All due respect, but I respectfullu disagree. IMO those numbers are just bad. Plant vs Uzcategui did 986k on FS1 a paid cable channel, on a Sunday.

          This did 1.3 million and is in everyone's house that has a working television in the USA on a Saturday.

          If they want fans I don't know why they would put Porter who has a spoiling grinding kind of style, and a Cuban on primetime television. This fight had Showtime or FS1 all over it.

            Again for Boxing, it is OK...

            Boxing as a whole is just not that popular in the US and as a whole it will never been, only certain fighters will get the big ratings and big ppv buys not all. Same in all Sports though, certain teams draw big ratings when they play on ABC, ESPN or TNT and others don't

            Yeah Shawn Porter fight style turn off even some Hardcore Boxing Fans so yeah I do agree that who they put on FOX effects Ratings of course. Leo Santa Cruz fight should not have been on FOX either.

              False post...this is based off of the fast nationals, which are not an accurate representation of ratings.

              Actual ratings will be out mid week.

              The peak will be around 1.9 million, real numbers will be out by Wednesday/Thursday...let's wait before over-reacting.

              1.9 will be a solid peak considering Spence/Garcia have dominated the promo recently.

              I think the biggest ratings are yet to come with Hurd/Jrock and potentially Wilder/Breazle on FOX.

              PBC on FOX in general has been doing amazing considering this is North America's reintroduction to boxing. Definitely neck and neck with UFC and much better than what UFC on FOX was doing in 2018.

                  with these bogus decisions that boxing fans keep getting on pbc more and more people won't be watching. I hope the ratings keep going down.

                    1.3 or 1.9M is decent numbers for Porter v mandatory although he did himself no favor in this fight with that performance

                    I expect Danny Garcia is going to do better numbers

                      Porter only gets love on the east coast.

                      No one on the west coast cares for him and his fighting style.
