Rabid fan base, plus Daytona 500. Practically the turning left Superbowl.1.1 is something to brag about? NASCAR drew 1.8 last night.
It's worth noting that there was no big lead in for this event and they were up against the All-Star game, a WWE PPV and some other sports.
They’re comparing it ESPN Fight night ratings historically, nothing else lol
And they provide no actual ratings.
These aren’t records,
The debuts beat shitty Numbers from 2017, wow
And it’s from ESPNs PR account.
lol, it beat monster 2018 FIght Night matchups like Valdez-Quigg and some dude named Andy Vences vs Erick De Leon,which were two of the highest prior to this matchup. ESPN did not air a "comparable" boxing match with big names in 2018, with a former HW champion and a hyped contender fighting in this debut.If they call them records, the dummies will eat them up.
I set new records every day. Most leaves dodged in the wind.... walking up 4 sets of stairs without tripping.... Going months without trying my shoes.
Its easy! You should all set your own made up records and tag the UFC and ESPN in the comments. Let your buddies know that you're just as awesome as they are!
Also, what ratings? Nielsen? HAHAHAHAHAHA. Joke city.
I would guess April 28 is the date of next big ESPN event. ESPN+ would be next week.
I do not understand why these events need to be on Sundays though..

Its pure PR nonsense, there are no ESPN Fight Night ratings 'records'.

Yeah, it was the Daytona 500. And a UFC Fight Night.1.1 is something to brag about? NASCAR drew 1.8 last night.
UFC/ESPN partnership is genius for both of them in so many ways
It reminds me of the spike partnership. ESPN just needs like programming to boost its faltering ratings, and live programming to boost it's only platform. UFC needs a mainstream push. It works so well for both parties.
ESPN is an easy home for any sport. Even bad ESPN boxing cards with no real advertising does okay on Friday nights
boxing gonna get better on there too imo.
Daytona 500 does damn near half the numbers it did ten years ago, and the race was over by 7pm. UFC debut got beat by Bobs Burgers.Yeah, it was the Daytona 500. And a UFC Fight Night.
yeah, its only been on there since like, forever.boxing gonna get better on there too imo.
I like Bob's Burgers lolDaytona 500 does damn near half the numbers it did ten years ago, and the race was over by 7pm. UFC debut got beat by Bobs Burgers.
