Showtime Boxing Saturday night peaks at 611,000 viewers

May 23, 2018 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

Showtime Boxing drew 535,000 viewers for the main event featuring Adonis Stevenson and Badou Jack.  The event peaked at 611,000 viewers according to Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily.

The other fight on the card featured Gary Russell, Jr. as he defeated Joseph Diaz, Jr.  The fight drew 487,000 viewers and peaked at 567,000.  The undercard drew 0.14 in the A18-49 demo while the main event drew 0.15 in the A18-49 demo.

Payout Perspective:

The ratings are lower than its last card which featured Adrien Broner and Jessie Vargas battling to a draw. The event went up against the UFC on FS1 but the lower ratings is likely due to this fight being more for the hardcore boxing fan.

Sports prediction markets are sports betting disguised as financial trading. They flout state and tribal gambling laws, siphon state tax revenues, fuel addiction, and expose young Americans to public health risks while evading state consumer safeguards.
