Comments Thread For: Williams-Hurd FOX Broadcast Peaked At 2,108,000 Viewers

[KTFOKING]

Anyone telling you 1.38M on Network TV is good has no clue what they talking about or are just spinning numbers because they got an agenda. We talked when FOX debuted in Dec and I told you then these numbers need to hit 2M minimum to be considered good. So far no card hit 2M but the first one was the closet. UFC on FOX never hit this low ever in their entire 7 year history run. This card did 1.2M overnight and 1.38M final adjusted. Compare that to every card in UFC history on FOX



Even their worst of the worst ratings are much better then PBC is doing. And even those have a asterisk because UFC signed a deal with ESPN early last year, FOX knew they were gone, the last few were lame duck cards where FOX drastically cut the amount of promoting because they were out the door. Before UFC announced the ESPN deal UFC was avg like 2.5M viewers on FOX. And their last card did 1.828M viewers. These are nowhere near UFC's numbers and constantly dead last of all networks every time they air.

The Thurman/Lopez card did better ratings than the Charlo card.

LIS no need to fear, Errol Spence is here to bail them out.

Boxing no where is putting great ratings minus great lead ins. The test for the PBC series on FOX is how they do with getting Smackdown promotion and NFL promotion. Either that or they need to increase their budget to get better fight cards. Though FOX has put on good entertaining cards and Spence/Porter is a fairly big fight.

I admit the fight was outstanding and Williams proved me wrong, he looked great. Numbers not bad at all either.

You see, the Tony Harrison scorecard was an INSULT to guys like J-Rock and Navarrete, that actually had to earn their title win.

Here's a guy, Harrison, who was knocked out a couple times, and was only interested in a staring contest...you can't take someone's belt like that!

JRock & Bud Crawford, only fighters worth paying PPV IMO...Pac vs Thurman won't do 200K viewers, very poor quality ask of PPV.

Which Crawford fight is worth PPV?

Which Crawford fight is worth PPV?

These are weak numbers. Too bad.

Wow major spin going on these numbers are not very good. First the article title has the peak numbers only no mention of the avg numbers which are far more important. But for other networks that they mention in the same damn article the writer ONLY mentions their avg. No mention in the article that that FOX finished dead last of all Networks or the fact that PBC specifically finished dead last of any programming on any of the networks. Luckily there are websites that have no vested interest in spin and just analzye and compared the numbers and even have easy to understand color coded indexes to show what's considered good, avg and below avg. Here is how PBC stacked up this weekend.



But the article and title is so misleading that you got people saying





No it did not. As you can see from above the PBC was NOWHERE near NHL's TV ratings which AVG'd over 2M viewers for the ENTIRE 3hr broadcast. But because Keith Idec creates a headline only mentioning the peak number (which could of literally been just the final 30 seconds of the final round). The PBC did a AVG of 1,385,000 dead last and 34% worse then the NHL just did. But Keith only tells you the peak of PBC and not the peak NHL or the other programs did which are ALSO way higher then then PBC to hide the avg numbers being so low. Also says the PBC numbers are up from their last broadcast but left out that those were the WORST ever in this new deal that PBC has with FOX. Better then the last time which were the worse ever don't make these numbers good. For network TV you should be doing 2M avg viewers for the entire broadcast not 2M peak and 1.38M avg.

You were just talking about how good Canelo numbers worldwide at 1.2mil were, despite that being in 8 countries and having it mostly come from old subscribers, but these numbers are bad even though it was 2 fighters unknown to the public who will be much better known now.

Yeah that was a new one for me. Breadman out in the comment section talking wild

[MEXfistology]

They're doing the same numbers basically that hypemachenko is doing , at least these guys fight a credible opponent that would actually present a challenge, not Anthony crolla smh 🙄

Which Crawford fight is worth PPV?

Any and all of them...if you appreciate & recognize the quality of the fighter rather than inflated records of most...
