Top Rank Boxing on ESPN draws 480K viewers opposite Canelo-Jacobs

May 7, 2019 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

Top Rank Boxing on ESPN drew 480,000 viewers Saturday night for the event in Stockton, California.  It also drew 166,000 viewers in the A18-49 demo.

The event featured Artur Beterbiev as he defeated Radivoje Kalajdzic.  The opener for the telecast saw a slugfest between Jerwin Ancajas as he stopped Ryuichi Funai.  In addition, Gabriel Flores, Jr. defeated Eduardo Pereira dos Reis.

The ratings are the second lowest for Top Rank Boxing and ESPN since the two began its working relationship in 2017.

Payout Perspective:

It’s hard not to think that most boxing fans were watching the Canelo-Jacobs fight on DAZN.  While the event from Stockton showed the best from its featured fighters, it had the unfortunate scheduling conflict of one of the biggest fights this year.

To the great people of @FoxSportsRadio, I am not crushing you or your hosts. I'm just saying nobody cares about @Stugotz since he left @LeBatardShow. And I'm right...I'm just saying nobody cares about him. That's all. I mean, come get me, Stugotz. Seriously. I'm not afraid of you
