Compilation of TV Ratings For Boxing

[ATG Fighter]

To add to the attendance figures thread, I thought I would just make a thread on tv ratings for boxing cards. It would be useful for people interested in the health of the sport. I got these from The Boxing Truth. These are the ones I could find from their archive:

where r these coming from

edit. my bad

but how do we know these r legit

[The Gambler1981]

That is fairly interesting.

People always dogged the Williams-Winky fight but that fight actually did draw good ratings, nobody went to Vegas to see it but it's better than nothing.

No wonder HBO isn't wanting to invest a dime on the boring arce Klit brothers

[bishop2006]

Vitali and Arreola smashed the other ratings, that is the only one past 2 mill. They should just keep Vitali the warrior, and let Wlad do his running Europe. Vitali should fight in the US.

Interesting figures, thank you.

[2120]

Marquez vs Katsidis rating on hbo were 998,000 viewers

Martinez vs williams rating on hbo were 1.3 million viewers

[Sweet Jesus]

897,000 for Bradley-Abregu.

Thanks, I've been looking for this one.

Would have thought JMM-Katsidas would do more, wasn't it a free preview weekend?

Also for all the shit talked about Williams drawing power his ratings look solid.
