This summer’s Top Rank Boxing on ESPN Ratings:
August 18 – 686,000 viewers
July 14 – 518,000 viewers
July 7 – 534,000 viewers
June 30 – 632,000 viewers
Payout Perspective:
The ratings are either an anomaly or a sign that boxing fans are getting used to boxing on ESPN. The ratings are far from what the network has received earlier this year and in 2017 but with the many up and coming fighters that most casual fans do not know, the ratings are pretty good.
