NBC Card Averaged 3.4m Viewers

Around 2 Million people watched Carl Frampton vs Chris Avalos in the UK on ITV

 

If Haymon stood on a ladder and ****ed on your head, you would think it was raining warm, liquid gold.

 

This isn't about Haymon you ****en steaming pile of cow dung!

 

You go down on your mom with that filthy tounge?

 

Are you asking or just saying you uneducated *****? lol...

 

Apparently it peaked at 4.2 million during the last few rounds of the Guererro-Thurman fight.

 

Yet great for boxing that free TV cN put together great cards.... I will say, watch out HBO....who has been in decline for the last few years!!

 

It was such a "hot" event that Haymon was giving free tickets to anyone who asked.Half the house(perhaps more) was papered.He best step up his game and terrible matchmaking.
The next "fight" on SPIKE TV this Friday is even worse.Remember-you get what you pay for and this is a prime example.atsch

 

There were re-runs of shows on at the same time that pulled in better numbers. Not a good sign.

 

Judging from the standard for hit shows on network television, the viewing figures have to be at 10 million to be considered a hit, but so far it is a respectable start, and it is good platform from which to build on.

 

Who would you prefer he copy?

Arum who made Pacquiao-Algieri PPV?

The fights on saturday were pretty much as competitive as 90% of the fights on HBO/Showtime.

Are you going to be equally upset about HBO showing Klitschko-Jennings?

 

The Al Haymon personality cult is taking a beating!

 

Exactly.

 

Because he has fights being seen by twice as many people as they are seen by on HBO/Showtime?

You think thats a bad thing?

 

Scripted shows are hard to overcome, especially with built-in fan bases. I agree with the post on the first page saying that the debut broadcast is usually the best turnout. There is a lot of statistics to back that up. We have to wait and see how all the debuts show on each network, the numbers for those shows, and then the follow up show on each network, to determine what will unfold.

Spreading the banner across multiple networks may be good, may be bad. If someone is tuning into NBC next Friday looking for fights and not knowing they are actually on a another network, they may think it's a one and done thing and not bother to follow it around. It's quite the gamble. After the debut of the next few shows, we'll get a better picture of the casual fan perception.
