Payout Perspective:
Slightly under 1 million viewers on a busy Saturday night is pretty good for PBC considering the number of events occurring on a weekend without the NFL. The Winter Olympics and NBA on at the same time were stiff competition for boxing. Also, there were two other boxing events on Saturday including a DAZN card at about the same time. Unlike UFC Prelims, this show did not seem like one that would help persuade fans to buy the PPV. However, they did see some good fights on Fox.
