This was for the entire four hour slot. I wonder how many tuned in for the main event. Possibly over 500k? Did pretty solid for the 18-49 demo.

Edit:

397,000 viewers watched last night’s Top Rank fight card, among their lowest figure in the last 18 months.

Audience peaked with 609,000 viewers from 10-10:15p.

Interesting though, last night’s median age was 45.5. Way younger than what boxing telecasts typically average.

So looks like it peaked at 609k. Good to see the median age was lower than usual for boxing cards.

Makes sense seeing as a lot of people have lost their jobs and can no longer afford cable.

I think the fact that it started at 4pm on the west coast. A little too early for a Tuesday. The fights we meh.

397k was the average for a four hour window. The actual main event peaked over 600k. I mean still nothing great but at least Stevenson got a decent amount of eye balls on him.

I thought more people would watch boxing since there's nothing really on.

Yeah, we will soon see that all that was nothing but noise. And we will see why more boxing cards aren't put on the weekdays after this series.

Decent numbers for what ESPN is doing right now. Aside from the UFC, nothing is breaking 300k viewers and this did double that amount for the main event.
