Comments Thread For: Williams-Hurd FOX Broadcast Peaked At 2,108,000 Viewers

[SchoolTheseCats]

JRock is legit, top 3 P4P rank after his victory performance over Hurd!

JRock & Bud Crawford, only fighters worth paying PPV IMO...Pac vs Thurman won't do 200K viewers, very poor quality ask of PPV.

I don’t know if you serious or just a failed attempt at trolling but whichever one it is clearly shows you need to be drug tested

Wow major spin going on these numbers are not very good. First the article title has the peak numbers only no mention of the avg numbers which are far more important. But for other networks that they mention in the same damn article the writer ONLY mentions their avg. No mention in the article that that FOX finished dead last of all Networks or the fact that PBC specifically finished dead last of any programming on any of the networks. Luckily there are websites that have no vested interest in spin and just analzye and compared the numbers and even have easy to understand color coded indexes to show what's considered good, avg and below avg. Here is how PBC stacked up this weekend.



But the article and title is so misleading that you got people saying

So it beat out a NHL playoff game and ESPN fight? Impressive.

The fight outdoing the NHL game is pretty good but it outdoing espn was expected

No it did not. As you can see from above the PBC was NOWHERE near NHL's TV ratings which AVG'd over 2M viewers for the ENTIRE 3hr broadcast. But because Keith Idec creates a headline only mentioning the peak number (which could of literally been just the final 30 seconds of the final round). The PBC did a AVG of 1,385,000 dead last and 34% worse then the NHL just did. But Keith only tells you the peak of PBC and not the peak NHL or the other programs did which are ALSO way higher then then PBC to hide the avg numbers being so low. Also says the PBC numbers are up from their last broadcast but left out that those were the WORST ever in this new deal that PBC has with FOX. Better then the last time which were the worse ever don't make these numbers good. For network TV you should be doing 2M avg viewers for the entire broadcast not 2M peak and 1.38M avg.

Needed to average in the 1.6-1.7M range to be honest. But Spence/Porter should surpass the 2M average fairly easy. That one needs to target an average of 2.5M and a peak over 3M.

Anyone telling you 1.38M on Network TV is good has no clue what they talking about or are just spinning numbers because they got an agenda. We talked when FOX debuted in Dec and I told you then these numbers need to hit 2M minimum to be considered good. So far no card hit 2M but the first one was the closet. UFC on FOX never hit this low ever in their entire 7 year history run. This card did 1.2M overnight and 1.38M final adjusted. Compare that to every card in UFC history on FOX



Even their worst of the worst ratings are much better then PBC is doing. And even those have a asterisk because UFC signed a deal with ESPN early last year, FOX knew they were gone, the last few were lame duck cards where FOX drastically cut the amount of promoting because they were out the door. Before UFC announced the ESPN deal UFC was avg like 2.5M viewers on FOX. And their last card did 1.828M viewers. These are nowhere near UFC's numbers and constantly dead last of all networks every time they air.

Finally the PBC puts on a good show - no running, no holding, no bs. That was a good, foty worthy type of fight.

Your a dumb brit casual. Every fight of the year candidate for 2019 is under the pbc banner.

Why do you think the British hate PBC so much?

You have to remember that the PBC card featured to Afro-American fighters in the main event, the ESPN card two Mexican fighters....that should not go unnoticed. Usually the Mexican fighters get more views. That is a strong signal about the trend in boxing since PBC came on the scene in 2015.....wilder and Broner were the biggest draws on showtime as well. Am I the only one noticing this?

Lol you act like every Mexican watches every mexican boxer. If thats the case then every Mexican fighter should be popular and drawing big numbers.
At this point i dont see broner as big of a draw as he was. Hes definitely on the decline

I see you missed the point, completely

Wilder & Broner are like the guy that bites off the chicken head in a freak show. No talent or skill but certainly entertaining.
