Normally I would say those are a bit low but considering all the sports it was up against those are good numbers for sure especially since those were two fighters not known to the non boxing fan. By far the best PBC on fox fight of the year so far, I would say second to the plant vs uzcategui fight on FS1, which was an outstanding fight....glad to see haymon is putting the Caleb plant first Defense on FOX on free tv leading in to the Pacquiao fight
Greeeeaaaat!!!! Just what we need, more tribal fans
******s fans actually tend to be the most logical from what I've seen and typically don't bash the other fighter.
Amir Khan vs Canelo/Crawford their sentiment was that it was a long shot but hopefully by Allah's will he was able to get the victory. They're not like US/MEX/UK fans at all. Plus different fighters from different regions and race can be ****** so it's not really about race for them either.
The main event saved this from being a total disaster. It peaked very high but still had a mediocre average. FOX would've been better off putting NASCAR in that timeslot since the race on FS1 actually had higher ratings than PBC. UFC also had a 1% higher rating among younger viewers and the Top Rank card on ESPN was only 16% lower than PBC in the 18-49 demo despite having half as many overall viewers. PBC's audience skews much older than what is typical of combat sports.

Shouldn't the TR card skew higher in 18-49 since that demographic is already tuned to that channel and that demographic is targeted with ads in that channel? The 18-49 sports fans are air already tuning into ESPN. PBC/FOX has to convince them up turn the channel
