Lubinson-Gallimore averaged 198k viewers

Also more and more people I know watch Showtime (and other channels) via streaming services like Youtube TV, HULU, Playstation, etc. - and I could be wrong but those numbers are not factored in to Nielsen figures.

correct

I watch Showtime with their app Showtime Anytime (which I think Nielson doesn't count)

correct

No Surprise!

Turned out to be a very good Card actually but that was a busy sports night with College Football Game, World Series Baseball and all those sports was on FREE TV and not on a Damn Premium Network

It is 2019 though, a lot of people are streaming so I don't even see the point of keeping up with Nielsen Ratings anymore it is very misleading

Showtime will be dead my this time next year

Not true.

Even if they wanted to close shop, they have two years left on their deal with PBC. That's a guaranteed contracted deal, so they have to make cards and supply dates until at least the fall of 2021.

Just like those WWE rating are bombing right now on FOX, but WWE has a five year deal worth over 1 billion.

Even if FOX wanted to end the deal, they would have to continue until the deal is done.

To be fair, the entire card got turned upside down in like two weeks with fights being reshuffled. Outside of Easter and Granados, most fans have no idea who any of those guys are. Forget the first fight, nobody knows either guy. Lubin is not well known and neither is Gallimore. And they were going to head to head with an ESPN card and the World Series. Lubin-Gallimore is not the kind of fight to make people stay home to watch boxing on a Saturday night.

In comparison, Angulo-Quillin averaged only 282,000 viewers on FS1. (Showtime = 29.7 million homes, FS1 = 84.5 million homes)

The espn card was actually espn+

Could say the same for espn and fox cards. No excuses. Just a terrible number.

Might as well be dead. The schedule this year has been trash with garbage ratings. Its only gonna be declining. Pbc will just use it for the lower paid fighters to get a knockout highlight for when they fight on fox

I didn't even know showtime was still in the game.

No, you can't say the same thing for ESPN or Fox. HBO and Showtime are premium services that cost an additional 10-15 dollars per month. Millions of people that don't have cable order HBO and Showtime separately. Those people aren't counted by Nielsen.

You can't order ESPN or Fox as a standalone service like you can with Showtime. ESPN+ doesn't include the actual ESPN channel or programming. You have to get ESPN through your cable or satellite provider. You have to get Fox through your local affiliate (usually via cable or satellite provider).

What country are you from? Maybe you don't understand how TV works in the US?
