Very good but I expected more. That's less people than Paulie-Broner which pulled 1.3 million. It's unfortunate because had it been on HBO it would have done monstrous numbers. Showtime simply still doesn't have the subs and pull to draw more viewers. It's more than what Canelo and Cotto pulled. It's a shame ST are putting so much effort in but in reality by taking the boxers to ST they are hurting the sport's viewership.

That's great,, and thats how it should be, if the networks give us good cards with great main events, its up to us boxing fans to show our support by giving them ratings...

showtime won't surpass hbo's ratings overnight, in months, or maybe even in years due to them broadcasting golden boy's star fighters. there is plenty of evidence of a significant increase in subs and if ST will surpass HBO in ratings it won't be for at least another 2-3 years
ST and HBO's ratings were very comparable this year with HBO edging ST, curious to see if ST manages to close that gap next year

But seriously though, this card and the action deserved more viewers than this. I said no less than 1.3. Im a little disappointed that the masses truly missed out on one of the best fight cards of the year
