Comments Thread For: Garcia-Granados Main Event Peaks At 1.468 Million Viewers

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Danny Garcia's return to the win column was the most watched boxing event in April-but still lost in the shuffle of a busy sports weekend. The former two-division titlist looked spectacular in dismantling Adrian Granados in seven rounds Saturday evening at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif. The bout topped the latest edition of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on Fox, with the event drawing an average of 1.082 million viewers according to Nielsen Media Research.

On free TV lol. How about Spence or Crawford instead of smaller and older men. We know that's what Danny likes to feast on but there are 2 young and full sized WWs right there. I would say Thurman and Porter but they already handled that work.

Not good numbers for what was a decent card. PBC has got to start making big fights and putting them on fox. And I mean the whole card. Leave the showcase fights for FS1 or undercard extras on fs2 and such. No PBC on fox card should ever be lower than 2m viewers on average. Haymon better be careful with this

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

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

[Bob Haymon]

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

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.

The PBC have been trash since the January card. Decent numbers for the Porter fight, but still not ideal. Should be averaging close to 2M ideally every time out.

ESPN numbers haven't been great either, especially that March 23rd card. But was that post trying to make a direct comparison or something?
