"PACQUIAO vs. DIAZ Match Registered 46.6% Not 63.8%" - AGB Nielsen

When the tv ratings report was published last Monday by AGB Nielsen Philippines via Philippine Portal, people got “mesmerized” by the 63.8 percent registered by the delayed telecast of Pacquiao VS Diaz: Lethal Combination which was good enough for 3rd place in the all-time highest rating tv shows in Philippine history. Sorry to blow your bubble because the said rating was erroneous.

AGB Nielsen corrected the data saying that as of the moment, the recent Pacquiao fight garnered an overnight rating of only 46.4 percent overall and not 63.8% as earlier reported.

The media research firm released the breakdown of Pacman’s fights and corresponding ratings and ranking to settle the record straight:
