Top Rank Boxing draws lowest ratings since returning to live action

June 20, 2020 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

Top Rank Boxing drew 305,000 viewers on ESPN Thursday night according to Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily.  The event drew just a 0.09 household rating. 

The main event for Thursday night was altered as Mikkel LesPierre was taken off of the card due to his manager testing positive for COVID-19.  His scheduled fight with Jose Pedraza was taken off the card. 

The new main event featured Gabriel Flores as he faced Josec Ruiz.  Flores remained undefeated as he earned the victory.

Top Rank 6/9              397,000

Top Rank 6/11            311,000

Top Rank 6/16            350,000

Top Rank 6/18            305,000

Payout Perspective:

It’s the lowest output since Top Rank came back to put on fights.  Its clear that viewers are not impressed with the live offerings from Top Rank as they are not top of the roster fights thus far.

I feel like crap tables minimums will be raised to $500

Joshua Lafond @joshlafond

@esidery That $13B will be carried by most of the residents. It always starts off saying these owners/investors will pay then once they start to build they start asking the city/state for money.

Enjoy the expansion team in Mexico City guys #NBA

The NBA will soon announce the Walton Laurie group as the expansion bid winners for Las Vegas with launch in 2028-29.

Nancy Walton Laurie, Bill Laurie and Raiders minority owner Egon Durban would build a new arena.

Including the arena, their official bid is around $13 billion.
