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.

People who do martial arts will laugh and tell me it’s fake. But then I ask them why they do martial arts? 😉

I should point out that according to those at TKO that the ESPN/MVPW boxing deal is a revenue sharing agreement similar to the original AEW/Turner deal in 2019 and not a full paying media rights deal which Top Rank had and wasn't renewed.
