NBC was Saturday night’s most-watched network with an average of 2.39 million viewers while the prelims of the Floyd Mayweather versus UFC champion Conor McGregor fight helped put Fox on top among all the night’s adult key demos.
The highly-promoted bout of legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather versus UFC champion Conor McGregor in late-night on pay-per-view is expected to have generated 5 million purchases, exceeding the previous record set by Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao from May 2015, which various reports had ranged its amount of PPV buys as 4.4-4.6 million.
Digital platform security company Irdeto tabulated an estimated 2.93 million people had viewed the ten-round boxing match via social media platforms including Facebook, YouTube, Periscope and Twitch through 239 streams.
