Payout Perspective:
UFC on Fox have not drawn over 3 million viewers since UFC on Fox 7 in 2013. In recent memory, the highest-rated live boxing event on Fox was January 2016 when PBC on Fox 1 drew 2.24 million viewers. PBC on NBC drew 4.8 million viewers for a Sunday afternoon 1 hour airing of a fight featuring Errol Spence. The ratings for Saturday reflect a huge interest in the PPV which likely dead very well.
