If that fight ends up doing near 2m viewers on it's own, I'd hope that you would remember to sing the praise of Deontay Wilder as well.

Anybody that generates those ratings on SHO deservers praise.

Paper champion or not.

Floyd fans before the ratings came out, no one cares about Canelo the ratings will be high just for the first half because of the replay. After the ratings are released he only did good because the replay was before the fight and they stay tuned to see the Canelo fight haha. No one wanted to see the replay of the scam of the century expect Floyd fans. Canelo is a big draw I told you Floyd fans, why else do you think Floyd did 2 million plus buys against him then Floyd barely does over a million against Guerrero and under a million against Maidana, it's common sense.

This confirms it...Mexicans don't like to get showtime. TBH if it wasn't for boxing I wouldn't get it either.

Showtime gets Deontay Wilder, American heavyweight and WBC Heavyweight Champion, on their airwaves within the next 6 -7 weeks. (Basically the American audience equivalent of the type of fighters that thrill the Mexican fight audience)

If that fight ends up doing near 2m viewers on it's own, I'd hope that you would remember to sing the praise of Deontay Wilder as well.

And if it doesn't do 2 million?????

Canelo beating a non competitive name guy who hadn't fought in 17 months. Guess easy KO's is what boxing fans want.

Not so much easy but ko's In general would be nice.
