Comments Thread For: Lara-Alvarez FOX Telecast Peaked At 1,492,000 Viewers

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

With stiff competition from college football games and a mismatch in the main event, FOX's boxing viewership predictably dipped Saturday night from its previous telecast. Nielsen Media Research figures released Wednesday indicated that the network's three-bout broadcast peaked at 1,492,000 viewers during the main event. That fight resulted in heavily favored Erislandy Lara knocking out Ramon Alvarez in the second round of their scheduled 12-round super welterweight championship match at The Armory in Minneapolis.

Frankly I’m surprised it did that well, very poor card even if it would have been FS1. PBC needs to do better on FOX

I would love to believe that as I’m a huge Lara fan but I’m sure being the brother of Alvarez played a part too.

Of course. Fox Deportes doesn’t always show PBC fights. The brother of Canelo Alvarez was a commodity for that night on Fox Deportes. At least Idec is being honest and representing true facts. Fox Deportes carried the ratings. The LDBc didn’t even promote Lara vs Alvarez.

Lmao PBC haters on suicide watch. Another PBC card that garnered more views than top Ranks last 7 cards
