PFL 4 on ESPN draws 333K viewers

June 9, 2023 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

Professional Fighters League 4 took place on ESPN on Thursday night and drew 333,000 viewers per Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily.  The telecast finished 31st overall in cable ratings for the night.

The telecast was delayed due to the final game of the NCAA College Softball Championship. Notably, it was second overall (to Stanley Cup Finals on TNT) with 1.864M viewers. 

PFL featured the Featherweight and Light Heavyweight division with the big upset occurring as 2022 Featherweight champ Brendan Loughnane was KO’d by Jesus Pineda.  With the loss, Loughnane was eliminated from the PFL Playoffs for this year. 

The telecast drew 0.11 in18-49, 0.06 F18-49, 0.15 M18-49, 0.07 18-34, 0.04 F12-34, 0.08 M12-34, 0.14 25-54 and 0.14 in the over 50 category.

Payout Perspective:

It was one of the better ratings for the PFL (especially on a Thursday night) on ESPN.  The fights were entertaining as it ramps up toward the playoffs.  We will see how next week’s event will do on Friday.
