Six million see Spence-Bundu
By Karl Freitag
Sunday’s Spence-Bundu broadcast on NBC was a ratings knockout. With the Olympic basketball gold medal game as a lead-in, the fight drew a 4.6 overnight rating, a peak audience of 6.34 million viewers and averaged 4.8 million viewers for the entire hour.
It was a perfect telecast. They got right to the main event without forcing viewers to sit through boring prelims and the fighters delivered an entertaining fight which ended in a fan-pleasing brutal knockout. It was by far the largest audience to see a PBC fight to date.
