I compared the first event on NBC to the UFC's first event on FOX. Which makes sense.

Oh it makes sense huh, why not compare it to what UFC on fox is doing now since boxing is the dying sport and all. :999:
What do the numbers for the last UFC on fox look like?
Why don't we compare those?
HOW MUCH DID THE MOBB SELL CURTIS?
UFC on fox hasn't had ratings like that since Jan 2013, if we dying you already dead. :sog:
And as far as advertisements go Haymon bout the time slot, NBC isn't relying on advertising $.

You're killing me with those smilies
I have never said boxing is dying or dead.
It makes sense to compare the debut of Boxing on NBC to the debut of UFC on FOX. The debut of anything TV related will generally have higher viewers.
Let's compare it to the most recent UFC on FOX card. UFC on FOX 14 averaged 3.05 million viewers and a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 key demo. While the PBC on NBC averaged 3.13 million and a 1.0 rating in the 18-49 key demo.

Overall, the numbers are comparable.

Never said you made that statement just some ether for the thread topic, nikkas talking about boxing is dying but on the same platforms right now boxing is performing better. No spins needed and wait until the Haymon guys with big followings like Chavez Jr or Garcia fight
You talking about UFC on fox debut like that shyt was 4 years ago. Remember back in the days?
them days are ova

Performing a bit better, but the numbers are comparable.
I believe it makes the most sense to compare debut against debut.

I don't, especially when it's always the mma side talking about the present/future of boxing and how mma is what's popping but you have to go back years to find a card that did better
I could easily say mma is dying with their #s declining, dudes coming up dirty all over the place and organizations closing shop left and right but I don't because I understand that just because I don't watch something it doesn't mean that millions aren't watching it either.
Pro Boxing Returns to Primetime With Solid 2.5 Overnight
By Paulsenon 03/08/2015 MMA/Boxing, NBC, Ratings
The debut of the Premier Boxing Champions series topped every UFC telecast on FOX in more than two years.
NBC earned a 2.5 overnight rating for the inaugural Premier Boxing Champions telecast Saturday night, the highest for a fight telecast on broadcast television since a January 2013 edition of the UFC on FOX (2.6).
The 2.5 easily tops the most recent fight telecast on NBC, an afternoon NBC Sports Fight Night telecast in September (0.7). NBC averaged a 0.9 overnight for Fight Night telecasts from 2012-14.
Compared to the UFC on FOX, the only other fighting series on primetime network television, Saturday’s PBC debut topped 10 of the 14 telecasts. The only UFC on FOX telecasts to earn a higher overnight were the inaugural edition in November 2011 (3.5), coverage in January (2.7) and December (2.8) of 2012, and the previously mentioned January 2013 window.
The telecast earned a 2.7 overnight from 9-11 PM ET, which according to NBC was the highest for any sporting event during the time period. Keep in mind that two-hour window also included the Duke/North Carolina college basketball game on ESPN. The overnight peaked at a 3.0 from 10:30-11 PM.
Compared to other recent Saturday night sporting events on broadcast, the PBC sailed ahead of an NHL regular season game on NBC the previous week (1.0), but trailed NASCAR’s Sprint Unlimited on FOX three weeks earlier (3.2).

And that was with Black fighters as the A-Side (including one without a strong fanbase in Keith Thurman).....like you said, watch what happens when #ChavezCoalition and #swiftset makes it's debut on PBC on NBC
Crazy thing is, 8 MILLION people were watching until half way through the Broner/Molina fight and then they switched due to the lack of action in the fight. The numbers could've been even HIGHER

Comparing a thoroughly-hyped debut card against an average UFC on FOX card
I don't think that's a fair comparison 
Even then, the last UFC on FOX did almost as well as the boxing card. 2015 has been a very good year for MMA in terms of numbers.
