PBC on FS1 this past Saturday night drew 181,000 for the Peter Quillin Caleb Truax fight per Nielsen. The event aired on a busy night for combat sports.
The event happened the same night as UFC 236 and the Shields-Hammer event on Showtime. A portion of the PBC on FS1 event aired on FS2 due to an overrun with MLB Baseball on FS1.
The Quillin-Truax fight went to a no decision after an inadvertent head butt caused a bad cut on Truax in the second round.
Payout Perspective:
The ratings are low due in part to the later start time and perhaps the confusion with the airing of the event. The MLB overrun likely was a detriment to viewership. Also, the event was likely overshadowed by the Shield-Hammer fight on Showtime.
