Eat Bulaga nearly reaches Pacquiao level ratings for AlDub's first meeting


Eat Bulaga set a new ratings record for the show this year for the first meeting of Alden Richards and Yaya Dub last Saturday.

The long-running noontime show posted a rating of 39.5 in Mega Manila according to AGB Nielsen, a new high for 2015.

That was nearly five times the figure garnered by competitor It's Showtime on ABS-CBN, which got an 8.7 rating.

The AlDub phenomenon has pushed the 36-year-old program to another level, as its ratings approached that of television broadcast of Manny Pacquiao's fights.

The pound-for-pound king's last exclusive fight on GMA-7 against Chris Algieri last November drew 43.8 rating - just less than 10 percent higher than the Eat Bulaga broadcast.

Pacquiao's fight against Mayweather last May, which was simulcast over three different networks, drew a 28.4 rating on GMA-7, 12.7 on ABS-CBN, and 3.3 on TV5 - a total rating of 44.4. That was just 11 percent higher than Eat Bulaga's Saturday episode. - JST, GMA News
