These are good numbers especially compared to what Showtime did Sat.

Russell fight did 481K
Dirrell fight did 354K
Barthelemy fight 267K
Tank fight did 228K

Geez, even with Showtime scheduling the time slot to not overlap with HBO, they still turn in a dismal number. Russell is just not a guy people care to see.

Good number for Crawford. No reason not to make Manny fight..

Yup can't use the excuse of competing head to head with HBO the cards were basically staggered to avoid one another. I've said over and over what is going on with Showtime has more to do with them then it does with HBO. The year Haymon launched PBC is when they almost over night lost half their boxing viewership. And since then the viewers have not come back.

MC, what were GRJ's numbers? The timeslot looked to have minimized HBO and Showtime cards from overlapping.

Haven't seen it posted yet. I didn't think those cards overlap. The Crawford-Diaz card didn't start until 10:15

[GhostofDempsey]

Solid numbers with an upward trend. That's what he needs.

IDK the Showtime fights ended pretty early out West here. Not really big names either.

Wow more surprised at the Delahoya number on ESPN. That's a big rating for that fight. Crawford is a stud, people should be watching him. Showtime puttingnon good fights and still getting terrible numbers, don't know why?

Except Manny wants $20 million. Which I think he should get but then Crawford is gonna want like $10 mil. Never gonna happen. That greaseball Koncz won't let it
