Average boxing viewership for 2019

[KTFOKING]

Yeah. Also a number of cards have been head to head.

Take last week. If you put Navaratte/Dogboe 2 and Berchelt/vargas 2 on the undercard of Hurd/Williams that would be a damn good 3 hr card that would attract a cross section of fans.

Instead we get a ESPN card geared toward Mexican fans, a PBC card geared toward African Americans that compete with each other.

Just ******!

Honestly, last Saturday ended up working well for everyone. FOX card finished before the ESPN main event.

Again though, promoters/networks aren't intentionally trying to counter program against each other. It's just there are too many dates given to networks where there will be unfortunately clashing cards aired against each other.

why you lying this what the NBA Playoffs did just last weekend



Even compared to last week look how bad the PBC 1.38M rating looks? It barely beat the worst programs last week which were reruns of Master Chef Jr lol Without airing any live or new content FOX did 1.1M for the night and finished DEAD Last just like they did this weekend airing PBC.

You understand what average means right?

And I was off. It's lower than I thought.


Through the first 48 games of the NBA postseason, playoff telecasts are averaging 2.92 million viewers and a 1.9 household rating, which marks a 14 percent decline compared to the year-ago draw of 3.4 million viewers and a 2.2 rating. While teams repping major media markets such as New York, L.A., Philadelphia, San Francisco and Boston have helped keep this year’s numbers relatively healthy, James’ first postseason no-show since 2005 may have discouraged more casual hoops fans from tuning in.

They are not the same numbers you were saying the numbers would go up once FOX gave them a deal and started putting time promoting them. But now FOX is doing the same level promoting they did with UFC giving PBC a ton of attention and the numbers are still not good.

The numbers are similar and you're still saying the same thing. You also said HBO would last longer than PBC. It's obvious you have no idea what you're talking about. And instead of admitting you were wrong, you just double down and get wronger

If I had your track record on issues like those I'd just keep my mouth shut and observe. But you're never right yet you keep at it.

That's not network tv ratings. lol You bringing up TNT and other cable ratings because you lied about the network ratings. You were comparing network work ratings NBA does way better then PBC does on FOX or the numbers you threw out. The last NBA playoff game did over 7.227M viewers on Network TV while PBC just did 1.38M on Network TV

If you want to bring up cable ratings then compare these numbers you mentioned to PBC on FS1 ratings which does 360K viewers on cable TV.

You were comparing network work ratings NBA does way better then PBC does on FOX or the numbers you threw out. The last NBA playoff game did over 7M viewers while PBC just did 1.38M.

If you want to bring up cable ratings then compare these numbers you mentioned to PBC on FS1 ratings

Did I say network? When others compared UFC & NFL did they specify network? No.

You're making up arguments in your head that im not having.

Jacobs knockout 2 weekends ago was great just like you predicted. By the way have you paid Robbie Barret? Oh and DAZN doesn't even have 500K subscribers lol

you said they were hemorrhaging money and about to fold any time now? Then the next week the company worth went up to $4B

Bytch stop lying you responded to comments about network ratings, then brought up false NBA network ratings while talking about Porter/Spence which will air on network tv not cable

NBA playoffs is averaging only 4.5 mil. The way people talk around here you'd think it was averaging 10 mil. The Porter/Spence fight can crack 3 mil

I gave you the NBA playoff network ratings and you come back with TNT cable ratings lol that's the games your lame azzz plays

ok so then let's compare NBA playoff cable ratings to PBC cable ratings...so answer me these numbers you posted for NBA on cable TV are they similar to the 360K avg viewers PBC is drawing on cable tv yes or no?

...as posted in another thread you see why Arum is in a Panic and is willing to work with others and is all of a sudden willing to do 50/50

UFC is DESTROYING Top Rank over on ESPN

Sorry but UFC is the more popular combat sport now here in the U.S. and I enjoy their cards and main events more than most Boxing Cards as of late which is SAD to admit as a long time hardcore boxing fans

Yea 100%. Thats the closest apples to apples comparison you can make from those numbers cuz you got Fox which is regular network TV & free with wide access, you got Showtime which is a paid premium channel, you got ESPN which is a basic cable channel with solid numbers with access & you got FS1 which is a less popular & I believe a less widely available basic cable channel but maybe not idk. Comparing these numbers takes a finer tooth comb then just looking at the numbers when you take in those realities of each of those networks.

ESPN UFC vs ESPN TR is some direct comparison sh^t doe. And thats a bad f#cking look for TR. TR has been with ESPN longer & TR is getting buttf#cked by the guys they called "skin head white h#mos" iirc back in the day which obviously is a bad look.

Wonder if this is why they are hiring Fury, BJS & making deals with Frankie Warren for his largely white guy brigade of UK fighters. They legit think ESPN has a bunch of skin head mfers & they are trying harder to appeal to them or something LOL?!?!

And no doubt on the UFC being a better overall product & more sellable to fans. I love boxing more than MMA or the UFC specifically, but a blind mfer can see the UFC is a better product on a day to day basis. Boxing is better on its best day, but the problem is its best day doesn't come around often enough to drive the sport on a day to day basis better.

Boxing is Losing fans, not gaining them and that is a problem for EVERYBODY PBC, Top Rank, DAZN all of them

Well DAZN can flip sports so while that doesn't bode well for all the money they've spent the upside for them is they can flip their focus to other sports. PBC & TR seem firmly seated in the boxing sphere.

And sh^t man ANYTHING can be turned around anyway. I think innovation is around the corner. I like a lot of the stuff PBC is doing thats making boxing look like a more legit sport & like so many other sports. I hate those Ak & Barak hipsters, but maybe they are onto something that broadens boxing range eventually to or is already idk. And I know streaming is gonna be customized to broaden the appeal with watching ANYTHING streaming in the coming years to bring broadcast TV to its knees.

Things are gonna be looking up soon in real numbers I feel like. I think there is too much money in boxing right now for some cats to not make some moves to keep that money coming in. I don't think anyone is just thinking its Christmas right now & that it'll be over eventually. Mfers are going to ride the money wave to more money & you do that by gaining bigger viewer numbers through ads or subs. And with all these mfers in the game with money I think the odds are solid there will be a winner via someone who steers the game to a better place. Who it'll be is anyone's guess doe.

I know I for one hope DAZN & PBC team up at some future date. I think DAZN & PBC teaming up could run boxing in a way never before seen for fans in a long ass time.

That's a fight prediction. We're talking about business. You're shooting 0%. Get something right and then I'll entertain you. All these long ass paragraph posts are you being LOUD and WRONG

You mean like your business takes that have been wrong at every step ABOUT DAZN?? lmao

I'm waiting for your response are the cable ratings similar for NBA as PBC doing on cable? Yes or no chump? Don't clam up now. Because they definitely ain't close on Network TV
