Saturday night’s ESPN Top Rank event drew the highest overnight ratings (in terms of market rating) for 2018 according to the network. It was the prelim fight between Andy Vences and Arick De Leon that scored a 0.8 metered market rating.
Last week’s Deontay Wilder-Luis Ortiz drew a 0.7 rating on Showtime and 1.055M viewers. The main event of Oscar Valdez and Scott Quigg drew a 0.7 rating.
The visual spectacle of the fights fought outside under a canopy while rain came down in Southern California was nice.
The ratings will come out on Monday.
Payout Perspective:
It was a pretty big night on Saturday with an event on Showtime and the ESPN event. The Valdez-Quigg fight was especially entertaining with Valdez earning the unanimous decision. One might expect the ESPN fights to draw over 1 million viewers based on the market share according to ESPN.
