PBC on Fox Saturday night drew 1.3 million viewers on Saturday night per Television By Numbers.
The event went up against stiff competition with the MLB Playoffs featuring the Cubs and Dodgers on cable TV. Also, USC played Utah on ABC opposite the Fox broadcast.
The event featured Abner Mares as he defeated Andres Gutierrez to retain his WBA featherweight title. The telecast drew 0.3 in the A18-49 demo and a 1 share.
In July, PBC on Fox drew just 866,000. In February of this year it drew 1.76 million viewers.
Payout Perspective:
The PBC telecasts on Fox have waned in popularity and although Saturday’s event drew better than this past summer, it’s not nearly as popular as the UFC when it does its quarterly events on Fox.
