Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Rubio Scores on HBO With 1.3 Million Rating

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Gennady Golovkin had more competition from other sports than he did in the ring, yet still managed to score with viewers.

The unbeaten middleweight looked every bit the 60-1 favorite over Marco Antonio Rubio, scoring a 2nd round knockout in their Oct. 18 headliner in front of a sold-out StubHub Center in Carson, California. Despite going up head-to-head with a down-to-the-wire college football thriller, the blowout managed to register 1.3 million viewers among live and peak audience, with an average of 908,000 households on first viewing.

The 1.3 million overall average viewership is good for the second highest rated fight of 2014, right behind Julio Cesar Chavez Jr's rematch win over Bryan Vera in March.

908k is households, not viewers. All ratings are based on a similar scale, whether cable, free network, etc.

His last fight peaked below one million. He had over 300,000 more viewers for this fight.

Haha awesome. Even 900k is an awful lot of people wasting their time watching a fighter take a dive though
