Does that include the same day replay?
Also didn't GGG get about 500k or something?
Golovkin got 685k viewers, which I think was the lowest before Lara-Vanes. But Golovkin didn't have to compete with a Showtime card.
Id say this weeks Hbo Championship Boxing will do over 1 million with Broner who gets people to tune in to hopefully see him lose and also with Seth Mitchell who is being groomed as the next US Heavyweight Champ.
Broner last fight did over 1.4 million so i think his fight vs demarco is a sure thing to break 1 million

The problem with boxing is that it lacks momentum. It manages to get impressive numbers, and gets people talking, before it suddenly falls flat on its face, for example 2011 ended brilliantly, but 2012 started horribly. If they made a straight run with Broner, Chavez Jr, Canelo, threw in some great fights and Marquez who I think will get more attention now they could build more momentum. The fans will be more willing to watch the lesser known fighters.
I think someone like Seth Mitchell will create problems when Wlad and Vitali retire. HBO and his promoters KNOW he is not champ material, however they will get some trinket belts into his hands and market him as the HW champ. Meanwhile RTL in Germany will have their own champ, and the UK will market either Price and Fury as their champ. I see the next gen as being more of a ratings game with each respective country wanting big numbers for themselves rather than building a strong champion. There will be no final goal, no Klitshcko everyone aspires to beat.

HBO did 667,000 viewers, their lowest of the year and possibly all time. Not sure on Showtime.
Not saying you're lying, but do you have a link for this? Seems extremely low.

You know I have to say even though ratings seem to be up on both Showtime and HBO this is starting to remind me of when Calzaghe pulled HBO's lowest ratings ever then at 1.9 million. People laughed at Calzhage but then suddenly ratings started dropping across the board. Now we celebrate 1 million viewers.
But before we go into any discussion on boxing falling it's important to note than since around 2005 TV ratings for everything have fallen quite a bit. Also seems strange that HBO's numbers fell so much yet I think Showtime's started increasing in the same period.
Hardcore fans were looking forward to it. A little known cuban vs a little known armenian as the main event is a hard sell to the public unfortuantely.
bullshlt excuse.This just proves that cuban fans suck.Numbers dont lie

If that's all they did then Showtime probably did beat them.
