Spence-Peterson Peaked @ 695,000 Viewers...

Not great if that's true.

 

Aren't those decent numbers for a fight like this?

 

No. Has to be a consistent thing with high ratings, if one it to be considered a "cable TV draw."

 

Not horrible but not great either. In comparison Wilder/Stiverne 2 did 887K. Also Broner did more last year vs Granados, so Spence isn't even as big a draw as Broner at the moment.

 

Eh Broner apparently is one of the biggest draws on free tv. Wilder is surprising, but he is a heavyweight champ and has been around a tad longer.

 

His career is still young. Danny’s a bigger draw, for example, but look at all the names he’s fought.

 

With no real build up or advertising this was good. Spence needs a King or Arum to talk him up some.
These guys need to watch wrestling, old school wrestling would teach them some mic skills.

new champion, still in the shadows of Pac/May...
And there are still objective arguments that he's top 5 ATM, but solid arguments are made in favor of Thurman, Porter, Bud, and Pac still better.
So... While I believe he's #1, not everyone is sold.
So...in a division drowning in the 3 pronged political divide, with 4 arguably better fighters, nearly 700 K... not bad at all for a first defense

 

It just proves how much in decline boxing is, unfortunately...

 

those are good Showtime/PBC numbers. Can't compare to HBO or TopRank/ESPN.....there is no comparison.

 

Decent number, but anything below 1M means you are not a star yet.
GGG consistently pull over 1M on HBO.

 

Spence vs. Peterson, the Peterson who was knocked out by Matthysse in the 3rd round, Spence was the house fighter, Peterson was paid to lose.......................why doesn't USTV show Usyk/Briedis fight? USTV is boycotting that fight, it's the old hate Eastern European fighters................

 

Spence doesn't want to be a DRAW. He wants to be a T/KO or at least an UD.
