TV Ratings in 2018 (HBO, PBC, Showtime & ESPN)

The general public just doesn't care about boxing these days...

Showtime TV ratings isn't saying much. Especially when Showtime allows you to stream their fights live on a number of streaming apps. Those ratings are counted by the Nielsen ratings that are released. I know a lot of people who watch the fights through streaming services. I watched the Spence fight on the Showtime app through my Fire TV. ESPN and other PBC channels like FS1 will stream their fights live as well through apps. HBO is the only one who doesn't do that.

Would you happen to know where you can find the ratings with streams counted? If that's the case and those numbers are good well then the future of the sport could be on apple or Netflix or amazon etc or even facebook

No I don't . I'm sure we will never get the views for fights that are on ESPN+ either. Nielsen only does network and cable channel views. Obviously we also get PPV ratings here in the states but for some reason they never report the Sky PPV numbers. Yet people swear that AJ sells close to 2 millions PPVs. Only number Hearn or SKY have reported were the Klit/AJ and the May/Mac which broke all PPV records in the UK for Sky.

Thanks for keeping this thread alive.

The numbers have been week but I think the Linares vs. Loma is going to do big stuff.
