Top Rank Boxing on ESPN draws 733K

April 27, 2021 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

Top Rank Boxing on ESPN drew 733,000 viewers on Saturday night per Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily. The telecast drew 303,000 viewers in the A18-49 demo.

The telecast featured Emmanuel Navarrete as he defeated Christopher Diaz to retain the WBO featherweight title. 

The telecast drew 0.23 in A18-49, 0.10 in F18-49, 0.37 in M18-49, 0.13 in A18-34, 0.05 in F12-34, 0.20 in M12-34, 0.39 in A25-54 and 0.34 in over 50.

The UFC 261 Prelims on ESPN served as the lead-in for the night of fights from Florida. 

Payout Perspective:

The viewership did not fall off too far after the UFC Prelims went off the air and presumably a portion of the audience turned to the PPV.  The strong numbers for Top Rank reflect its placement on ESPN without other events on with the exception of the UFC.
