Crawford dominated the fight against Diaz. Per ShowBuzz Daily, it drew a 0.37 rating in the A18-49 demo.
The other fight on the telecast between Raymundo Beltran and Jonathan Maicelo drew 687,000 viewers on HBO.
Previously, Crawford drew 982,000 viewers for his fight this past February against Hank Lundy. In October 2016, Crawford drew 1.07M subscribers against Dierry Jean. In April 2015, he drew 1.004M subscribers against Thomas Dulorme.
Payout Perspective:
The telecast was opposite a Showtime show so there may have been a split in viewership. Crawford is one of HBO’s prized boxers but will he get a shot at the upper echelon? The one sure way is a big fight with Manny Pacquiao. The ratings reflect that his viewership is around 1 million viewers but if he’s to return to PPV, he’ll need a Pacquiao fight to do so.
