Comments Thread For: Plant-Lee Fight Drew Peak Viewership Of 1,141,000 For FOX

🤣 it didn’t draw 1.4 mil views. Hell it peaked at 1.141. That’s the peak. It didn’t average more than 800k. It was a terrible mismatch. Plant was a 20-1 favorite. Garbage fight.

No way plant vs Benavidez does 4-5 million. If it’s promoted right and is very fortunate it does 3 million but 2 to 2.2 mil seems about right for that potential card

My point exactly Mike Lee is nobody, I know it's a garbage fight but Plant Drew 1.14, not 1.4 my bad. Put him in there with the WBC champion Benavidez for unification (after he whips Dirrel) & promote that Bytch on the Fox train it will do massive numbers

the thing is mike Lee does have a following. It could get good numbers but 4-5 mil isn’t realistic

LOL realistic anything is possible with mexican-american fan-base on free TV. Now with Plant being the Great White Hope this thing can do major numbers if pushed by the Fox Train, definitely realistic..

People thought it was going to be a political debate 😂

Nah. Benavidez hasn’t been getting good ratings. He’s not even known by casuals

[phishfan]

I got to applaud you because that was high-level energy for a little bit of low-level sarcasm. Dog if Plant vs unknown Lee can draw 1.4 milli views then what do u think Plant vs David Benavidez will do? I will tell you casual it will bring in 4 - 5 million views minimum if it's promoted on the Fox Sports Podium

Thurman Porter had 3 million viewers and it was the highest rated fight in YEARS. No way plant Benavidez brings in 4.5m.

Right?! This card on fox probably averaged 700-800k viewers and was a super competitive main event with elite fighters like mike Lee and Caleb. These 50-50 fights that average less than a million viewers while being available in 130 million homes proved that fans want more of these types of matchups.

Here’s to more fights like Caleb plant vs p4p top 10 fighter Mike Lee!

These numbers aren't good. They should be avg at minimum 2M viewers for the entire broadcast instead they did 923K viewers. It's on Network TV reruns avg over 1M viewers on Network TV. You draw 700K viewers just with old people falling asleep with the TV on. Good ol' bias Keith Idec once again refuses to report those full avg numbers and only reported the peak numbers. He also didn't mention that this is now hands down the worst PBC on FOX ratings for the series or that 3 of the last 4 PBC on FOX cards set the all time worst ratings. Here is where PBC ranked for the night...DEAD LAST by a country mile



Boxingscene website is owned by CBS and CBS is in business with PBC. CBS owns Showtime and Showtime airs PBC that's why when they report ratings for ESPN and other networks they report the standard avg Nielsen ratings. But when they report on PBC they bury or refuse to report the avg Nielsen ratings and only mention the peak numbers to inflate the numbers. Funny thing is even the peak numbers are terrible. The next worst program for the night AVG rating was 1.2M viewers and probably peaked at almost 2M viewers that's better then PBC's peak numbers which avg just 923K.

I still can’t believe they won’t put the average in

It's called agenda reporting. Look how boxingscene reported the TV ratings for Top Rank on ESPN

https://www.boxingscene.com/commey-b...iewers--140500

headline only mentions avg numbers and nowhere in the article does it even report the peak numbers which for all we know could of cracked almost 1M. They also mentioned where those ratings ranked compared to previous ESPN cards this year. Now look at Keith Idec who again is employed by CBS who has a financial stake in PBC. Idec doesn't tell you PBC finished dead last in Network ratings for the night, doesn't tell you the standard avg Nielsen rating which barely did 900K viewers or that this is hands down the worst ratings for FOX or that they have hit alltime low ratings breaking a new floor in each of the last 3 cards PBC has aired on FOX. This is some propaganda reporting where they have created a separate standard in reporting ratings to try and inflate PBC's numbers which are HORRIBLE for network TV. But this hit a new alltime low from Keith who now has ZERO creditably he knows these are bad so he REFUSED to even report the avg viewership numbers which is the most important number of all. LMAO

The numbers prove it and they ain't afraid to show them.. PBC puts on the best fights,, they're putting out the most material.
Eventually Haymon is gona switch all the way to Fox and abandon Showtime..
Fox is bringing in all the numbers, they are raking in more v fans bringing them into the sport.

FOX/FS1/FOXPPV can't bear the full PBC schedule all at once, and that likely won't change.

22 FOX dates for the big shows? Honestly? Doubt it.
