Comments Thread For: Crawford-Kavaliauskas ESPN Telecast Peaked At 1,648,000 Viewers

Folks tuned in to watch the Teofimo fights mainly.

I did. And this is from a guy who flew to Omaha to watch Terrance fight once.

Teo was the guy in the better fight. I expected Crawford to win easily but wasnt sure of Teo's outcome. All in all I ended up (surprisngly) very entertained with Crawfords fight

Maybe it's just me, but those numbers are alarming.

Crawford card did nearly 1 million less than his last fight on ESPN and the peak here, for Conlan no less, was 1.6 million. The peak for Crawford's last fight on ESPN, in main event, was over 2.8 million, 50% more than peak of 1.4 for Mean Machine.

The fight with Benavidez was on after a football game that had 3.7 million viewers.

Not surprised this was a real good card, co and main events delivered too.

Don’t fall for the okie doke. Crawford wasn't the reason for the 2.8 viewership. That fight card came after the Alabama football game.

His fight vs Indongo averaged 1.2M viewers. This one had a better lead in and did a bit bitter but that's about what you should expect with his fights on ESPN. I expected this one to peak over 2M but the Heisman Trophy presentation didn't have as many viewers as the year before.

something is very wrong for bud’s numbers to drop that drastically year over year on the same platform. this barely makes the top 10 cut for most watched cards this year and i dont know if it does

What boxing cards this year did better?

Lower ratings means Bob needs to REALLY WORK HARD to promote TCraw. And Terrence, for as much as how good he is as perceived by people, he also needs to help Bob by marketing himself - try to make some news, hire a special documentalist to hype him everyday or whatever.

Those Caleb Plant level numbers. I think Harrison/Charlo will outperform that as well. No wonder Bradley doing Macho Man impressions out here, they need something to build interest

Off the top of the head Hurd-Williams and Thurman vs Lopez, but I can look.

Kowanaki vs Arreola peaked higher as well
