suck? those are great numbers with the direct competition they had

LOL no, definitely not great numbers.

Should be averaging close to the 2M mark, AT LEAST 1.6-1.8M mark.

120 million or so households have Fox, you would think they'd getbat least 3-4 million people to watch the fights.

People don't give a damn about Boxing I guess.

That's use to be their same excuse when it came to HBO and Showtime. Now they want to play dumb. SMH.

Not good numbers at all. Some of us fans are dumb enough to compare these numbers to ESPN/Top Rank, etc., but I fear the day when DAZN is our only option. PBC needs to do better and Bob Arum can't be in good standing with ESPN especially after that horrible Crawford PPV. I won't everyone to succeed including DAZN so that would mean better fights and guys not taking long layoffs

A more accurate comparison would be to compare their ratings on basic cable. An ESPN2 card with a bunch of no name fighters got better numbers than what highly ranked contenders on FS1 usually get.

Lowest viewership on broadcast television and a nearly empty arena. PBC's formula of in-house mismatches is not working out too well.

The whole card was basic. Main event was, meh. Granados is a good club fighter, nothing more.

I remember when HBO Boxing averaging under a million viewers was considered a dissapointment. PBC's numbers are trending in that direction and on FREE television and their basic cable numbers are virtually non-existent, not even a blip on the radar.

Right? SHOW use to SCREAM that line.

TR is STILL the best company to develop a STAR! Just ask DLH, Floyd, Cotto, Manny, etc....

[Motorcity Cobra]

No doubt PBC is doing better but ESPN is basic cable, fox is free. Those numbers have to come up at least another 600k on average for PBC on fox

Why does ESPN Monday night football match and sometimes exceed thursday night football on network tv?

[Detroit29]

Bruh...these are great numbers for what this event was going up against. The NBA playoffs were on and the EPSN card was on as well. This event managed to steal 1.4 million views away from the other events that was going on that night. And it wasn't even a title fight. #PBC #AL HAYMON!!! KEEP HATING!!! STILL GOING WHEN PEOPLE SAID THEY WOULD BE DONE IN 2 YEARS!!!
