[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Shawn Porter and Yordenis Ugas didn't draw quite as many viewers for FOX as Keith Thurman and Josesito Lopez attracted for the previous welterweight title fight the network aired. According to Nielsen Media Research figures released Tuesday, the 12-round bout between Porter and Ugas was watched by an average audience of 2,142,000 viewers Saturday night. Their main event, which Porter won thanks to a questionable split decision, drew a peak audience of 2,197,000 toward the end of their fight for Porter's WBC welterweight title at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.

Considering those are not blockbuster names that’s an excellent showing especially since it went up against dazn. I’d still like to see PBC at no less than 3m viewers though. Bigger names and better matchups and you’ll get that like the 2015 PBC shows

Overall I say the numbers were average. Not bad not good.

Per ESPN

The Premier Boxing Champions tripleheader on Fox on Saturday night, which was headlined by welterweight world titlist Shawn Porter’s debatable split decision win over Yordenis Ugas, averaged 1.63 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research. It was the least viewed program on network television on Saturday night.

These numbers arent good 1.6M is really low for network tv. Here is where they ranked in all demographics with the rest of the network programs on sat.

How many viewers do you actually think DAZN took away? Very little. I doubt even 75k watched the Bivol/Smith card.

Garbage numbers.

[champion4ever]

Those were not good numbers at all given that the fight was televised on free network television. Those are Showtime World Championship type boxing numbers on a premium cable network.

People can **** on the ratings but it's better than most of anything on ESPN and Definitely more than Dazn
