Masahiro Tanaka vs Yuki Saito game turns in fairly high TV ratings

TV ratings from Saturday's Masahiro Tanaka vs Yuki Saito game are in:
NHK (Tohoku region) - 23.4%
Hokkaido Bunka Hoso (Sapporo region) - 22.3%; and 52.4% of TV sets that were turned on were tuned into the game
Fuji TV (Kanto region) - 7.8%
These ratings are considered really good in Japan, especially on a weekend afternoon.
My wife and I contributed to Hokkaido numbers. I can’t say we enjoyed the game much, though.
