Comments Thread For: Berchelt-Vargas Rematch Peaked At 1,099,000 Viewers

They finished 7th compared to all 100+ cable channels for the entire day and 3rd best for their specific time slot. Where as FOX finished dead last for their time and dead last for any program on Network TV. I don't think either numbers for ESPN or FOX are great. I would say ESPN is just ok while FOX are below avg. For Network TV you should be doing 2M avg viewers not 1.4M. And for Cable TV these fights should be doing 1M viewers NOT 740K. HBO did these type of numbers last year and ESPN is in much more homes and not a additional subscription cost on top of basic cable.

So Dragon Ball Super, NASCAR on FS1, and the UFC Prelims all got better ratings than Top Rank Boxing?

What's funny is NASCAR on FOX's smaller cable channel FS1 drew drastically higher ratings then PBC did on FOX the bigger network with more viewers available to watch.

NASCAR starting at 7:35PM did 2.177M viewers on FS1
PBC starting at 8PM did 1.385M viewers on FOX

That should NOT happen where your cable channel sister station beats out your main Network station on prime time with both airing live sports no less.

Damn, dude.

The networks don't give a damn how many old people watch your show. Top Rank overperformed in most key demographics which is why it was ranked 7th on cable. PBC on the other hand underperformed in most key demographics and was barely in the top 10 for primetime on broadcast. It was out of the top 10 once you include late night(SNL) and daytime sports.

In the adults 18-49 category which is the most important category PBC only had 16% more viewers. The Berchelt-Vargas card also had a 5% higher rating in that category than PBC's previous card, Garcia-Granados. Berchelt doing better ratings than a potential PPV headliner is embarassing for PBC.

This^^^ that WBF IBO IBA dude is cringeworthy having to come into a top rank thread to try and defend pbc. He’s so triggered.
