PBC on FOX Charlo vs Cota card - Worst overnight TV ratings for the series

[bigdunny1]

This is the worst overnight rating for PBC on FOX series since their deal last year. It did a overnight rating of 1.005

Dead last of the 4 major networks only CW did worse



Here is a comparison for what FOX and the other 4 major networks did last Sunday.

Of course that main event would never sell, hell maybe Rigondeaux - Ceja could've sold better seeing as it was an eliminator and of a higher caliber.

PBC does such a horrible job of promoting upcoming fights. Its like 2 guys randomly fell out of the sky and started fighting.

Could be less if he burns through all the investors money. The problem is the cost for these shows is enormous. He is paying huge fight purses, huge production costs and then on top shoots millions to the networks for the time buys. And so far little to none commercial advertisers have joined in which is why instead of commercials they just run promos for PBS events. Means its all out of pocket for the investor's. they are making almost nothing in ticket sales with many empty seats and rumors of them giving away a mass amount of tickets for free. If they don't get advertisers or higher ratings I doubt they make it to year 2 because the money losses will be to great. Or they will have to scale down the shows meaning lower quality fighters.

Go to ticket master and you can see with about day away the Dirrell fight is in a small arena with only half the arena for boxing yet still only around half the seats are sold. My guess is again on fight night on TV you will see tons of empty seats or PBC will walk the streets and comp a ton of free tickets hours before the fight. How you expect to sell PBC to the networks when you have no sponsors and are forced to give away tickets for your fights?

PBC so far reminds me of the XFL. They had tons of money and lots of smart savy investors all involved on both sides. They had a 2 year plan to start as well. But it was a very expensive product that couldn't sustain it's losses. They spent too much money on production and promotion and didn't focus enough on the quality of the product. Haymon is spending his investors money left and right but the one thing he didn't do is make sure PBC has high quality fights. That's how you generate buzz and get the fans. Right now we are seeing way too many shows on too many networks all on different days and times and most of the fights are blatant mismatches. Many shows with headline fights that really should be on the undercard of better fights. He is more concerned with quantity instead of quality.

He has a strong stable fighters and could of easily made all his top fighters face each other. There is no reason Thurman, Broner, Garcia, Khan are all under PBC yet not fighting each other. Instead they are all fighting separate fights against weaker competition. He probably should of also lowered the amount of cards and networks he's dealing with to start the first year so that when a PBC show does come on it's loaded with good fights. Now you have a PBC event every week or a couple a week and not enough time to properly promote each event so you are getting a lot of bad shows. That hurts the brand he is trying to establish. If you catch a bad show on SpikeTV that's under the brand name PBC and that's your first exposure to PBC you are not going to tune back in when a month later when a good PBC fight is on NBC.

Unlike PBC XFL actually debuted to monster ratings but the first game was terrible quality and the second week ratings dropped big time because the Casual fans did not tune back to see if the quality got better. And by week 3 the ratings plateaued. The ratings from then on would of been good enough to get a year 2 but the cost of each event was so insanely high that they were losing money and no TV sponsors jumped on board to help recoup some of the losses. They ended up losing more money then they expected in year 1 and folded at the end of the season. Right now PBC is just super expensive infomercial that is sucking a hole in his investors wallet.

Says the clown who a couple months ago created a thread about how DAZN was in trouble and probably going to sell their company...meanwhile it's PBC that is reportedly trying to sell because the investors are furious and trying to wipe their hands and recoup as much loses as they can. LMAO

Motorcity predictions DAZN only has less then100K Subscribers....WRONG. Jacobs is going to beat Canelo's azzz...WRONG...DAZN is selling the company shortly because they failing....WRONG...meanwhile PBC trying to sell for loss after wasting almost 1B of investors money. That's why they sending crap fights to FOX and FS1 and every decent fight has to go to PPV. What happened to free boxing? Have you paid Robbie Barrett yet on failed predictions? Or you still running from him?

Pretty sad that boxing gets crushed in the ratings by America's Funniest Home Videos.
