The PBC on FS1 Prelims this past Saturday drew 421,000 viewers according to Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily. The PBC Prefight show which supported the Spence-Garcia PPV drew 404,000 on FS1.
The prelims on FS1 aired just one fight with heavyweight champion Charles Martin taking on Gregory Corbin. Martin won via DQ over Corbin.
The prefight show which aired after the prelims previewed the main PPV card including the Spence-Garcia matchup.
Payout Perspective:
The viewership was fair considering just one fight on the aired prelims on FS1. Did it do enough to sell the casual boxer on purchasing the PPV? Hard to say considering that the fight ended in a DQ due to punches to the groin. With the build for this PPV card, PBC did a good job in building excitement despite a poor PPV.
