PBC on NBC Sports Network drew a viewership rating of 362,000 viewers per Sports TV Ratings.
The ratings are an increase from July’s PBC on NBCSN’s event which drew 247,000 viewers. The July event on NBCSN was the lowest reported rating across the networks that show PBC (excluding Bounce TV).
Notably, Friday night PBC on Spike TV drew 679,000 viewers.
In the main event on PBC on NBCSN Saturday Lucian Bute defeated Andrea Di Luisa.
Payout Perspective:
An NFL preseason game between Tampa Bay and Minnesota drew the biggest ratings on Saturday night as it drew 1.783 million viewers. PBC which aired from 9-11pm ET did fairly well compared to its previous showing on the network. The previous Saturday, a Barclays Premier League replay drew just 84,000 viewers (via Sports TV ratings) in the same time slot the week before.

Stop change the topic as usual Tops E.
These are decent numbers for that channel, only NASCAR & NHL playoffs do big numbers over there, They aren’t great either through, WEC & UFC did s lot more when the channel was called Versus.
PBC is too spread out they should have maybe thought about doing less cards with more quality, say 36 shows, instead of the 60 plus cards they are doing now.

Tops E says
Jason any news if fox did pay media rights to pbc? ……if 7% goes to fighters in the UFC how much is they’re marketing overhead? To build the bubble hahahahaha

It’s just a bad network. I don’t think we can compare anything that happens on NBC Sports to anything on another network. Now within NBC Sports, this is actually a decent result. I just don’t know what that really means.
saldathief says
what a nice stream of comments, everyone is basically realistic. Funny how most of us get along when the paid stooges of the UFC aren’t posting their lies and propaganda. I don’t think I even know where this channel is on my system lol,

Talk about exposure. Hahaha.

Lucian Bute vs Jean Pascal peaked at 1.13m on HBo in Jan 2014. At the time it was the lowest viewed fight on HBO in 13 months.
Pascal beat his ass and no ones givin a shit about Bute since.
I watched this card, i didn’t watch the Spike one tho.
In September PBC i think in a 1 week span has like 5 shows.
Ill post later
