PFL 5 main card on ESPN2 draws 165K viewers

July 27, 2019 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

The Professional Fighters League on Thursday night drew 165,000 viewers on ESPN2 according to Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily.  PFL5’s main card aired on the network.

The main card which aired at 9 pm ET featured Lance Palmer as he defeated Luis Rafael Laurentino via TKO in Featherweight action.  Also, Chris Wade secured a spot in the playoffs with a unanimous decision over Akhmet Aliev.

PFL 1: 137,000 (prelims)

PFL2:  120,000 (prelims)

PFL 3:  113,000 (prelims)

PFL 4: 227,000 (prelims)

PFL 5: 165,000

Payout Perspective:

A couple weeks after posting a season high for its prelims, PFL 5 dips with a main card featuring Featherweights and Lightweights.  This has to be disappointment since it was in a better time slot and it was presumably better fights.
