NEW YORK (
Zeven. 1, 2017) –
Before fight fans turned their attention to the desert with knockout PPV numbers last Saturday,
the FIGHTNIGHT LIVE Facebook series landed a massive haymaker of its own.
Linacre Media en
CES Boksen partnered on a pre Mayweather-McGregor card that ran from 6-9:30 p.m. EN live from Foxwoods in Connecticut,
with the tech-forward,
fan-friendly Facebook broadcast platform drawing an audience of 201,935 fight fans,
and counting.
“Fight fans were primed and ready for Zaterdag night’s mega-event from Las Vegas, and we were pleased to be able to entertain so many with great fights from Foxwoods for the hours leading up to Showtime PPV,” zei Mark Fratto, Principal en directeur bedrijfsontwikkeling, Linacre Media. “Of course we had some fans thinking they’d get to see Mayweather-McGregor, but we were quick to point them in the proper direction for that content. The hundreds of thousands that stayed on our platform saw some great action, including a wild ending in the CES main event. As a matter of fact, we saw 50,000 more fight fans log-in op zondag to review the closing moments, and as always with our interactive Facebook shows, offer their own opinions and interpretations. We’re pleased to be able to announce that seven or more shows are being added to the calendar from September through November, including one leading into GGG – Canelo.”
Over the first four months of programming, the numbers on the FIGHTNIGHT LIVE series have showed promise and potential for the new platform with an average of more than 85,000 fight fans tuning in per event. The August “Super Zaterdag” van Foxwoods (202,000), the July Roy Jones Jr. “Desert Showdown” from Phoenix (63,000), de mei “Slugfest at the Sun” from Mohegan Sun (46,000) and the June “Rosemont Rumble” van Chicago (32,000) saw a total of more than 8,000 total hours of Facebook video consumed by 342,000-plus users across all devices.
In aanvulling op de ruwe kijkers nummers, de volledig interactieve, fan-friendly productions have seen more than 33,000 collectieve live-bericht engagementen, waaronder meer dan 3,000 “sympathieën” of “houdt,” meer dan 10,000 comments and 3,000-plus shares.
FIGHTNIGHT LIVE broadcasts are viewed by 76 procent mannen, 24 procent vrouwen. The top demographic is comprised of males aged 25-34, welke omvat ongeveer 30 procent van het publiek, gemiddeld.
The Aug. 26 Foxwoods “Super Zaterdag” etaleerstandaards out individueel met 201,935 views across 3,336 live hours of content, met 8,224 viewer interactions including 1,133 “sympathieën” of “houdt,” 1,570 opmerkingen en 1,392 aandelen.
“Voor meer dan 25 jaar, CES has delivered boxing excitement to fans all over the world. The tradition continued Zaterdag night at Foxwoods when we teamed with FIGHTNIGHT LIVE by using cutting edge technology allowing fight fans to view the fights live on Facebook. This historic, record-setting event was the result of a great production team and action-packed, competitieve gevechten,” said CES President Jimmy Burchfield, Sr.
