    Me at the thought of watching a full Showtime card in the past few years -

    Those numbers sound about right to me maybe even a success.

    Given that cards are running concurrently on different networks, I think we may have to temper expectations on what an acceptable number of viewers might be for those broadcasts.

    For example, Shields-Hammer ran against Munguia-Hogan on DAZN and Truax-Quillin on FS1.
    Davis-Ruiz ran against another DAZN show.
    Barthelemy-Easter ran against the WBSS semi-finals. In all honesty, given that match-up and what they were up against, 300k might well be considered a success.

    The only broadcast that has run unopposed was Lara-Castano, which managed to reach 500k.

    The numbers aren't great...But given the fact that few broadcasts are running unopposed, they probably won't be for the next while.

    Not pitching this to insomnia clinics worldwide was a massive missed opportunity.

    Even hardcore fans, who are the only people who know who those guys are, knew better than to expect a good, entertaining fight between the two.

    Showtime is definitely on the way out.. They committed to a $50 million budget but hasn’t spent the money on a decent card with the exception of the Lara card.. The problem is most if not all of the PBC guys wants to fight on FOX instead of SHO.. They definitely should have let FOX pay for the whole brand instead of agreeing to share it

    In the US? Basically, yeah. And the slew of randon channels that put on PBC shows with middling production value, but...meh.
