· The metered-market household rating for "PBC" on NBC increased every half hour, peaking at a 2.56 from 10:30-11pm ET for the final rounds of the Broner-Porter bout and Porter's unanimous decision over Broner. That 2.56 for the peak half hour topped by +8% the peak for the prior "PBC" telecast on NBC April 11 (2.38).

· From its first half-hour to its fifth, "Premier Boxing Champions" on NBC grew by +88% in metered-market households (1.36 to 2.56). In adults 18-49 in the 25 markets with Local People Meters, the increase from first half-hour to fifth was +86% (0.7 to 1.3).
