Hbo ko's show times card with viewers

So what. Just wait till September and Showtime is gonna make history. ..

Interesting tidbit to me.... Nothing more

I watched Showtime live and dvr HBO Boxing glad I chose to do that also.

Showtime had a much better night of fights I am surprised by how much better ratings HBO had.

I would have though Showtime would have had more viewers due to the better card.

I have both and watch alll cards, but that showtime card was way better that night

I don't understand why some boxing fans don't have both, most tv providers will throw in Showtime for like 15 bucks every three months. During the weekends when HBO boxing is on, I'll just watch it on a stream. When HBO/Showtime are going head-to-head and I'm interested in the Shobox card, that's the time to sit down with the family to watch boxing. Showtime clearly has the advantage when it comes to quality match-ups.

I think the last time Showtime beat HBO was the Garcia v. Judah card which was against Martinez' fight

That's a shame considering how good the Showtime fights were and how lousy HBO's were.

i'm not sure how many people buy showtime, but it's less than HBO. there was also a horrible fight on showtime early on, with relative no namers in charlo and hopkins. that fight sucked worse than gamboa - perez, which also sucked. still, it wasn't a great HBO card and it did decent. boxing fans love boxing. i pay $20 a month each for HBO and SHO. my cable bill is well over 100 bucks.

This can't be accurate because I heard that Floyd going to Showtime brough in like 10 billion new subscriptions. That's why it made sense for them to sign him to a contract where they lose money broadcasting his fights right??

Oh and btw FNF has been better than Shobox all year long. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android Yup, you know hbo boxing is average when you have to resort to fnf's to help them. Still though, shobox on friday is greater than hbo's nobox on friday period!!:boxing:

Wow in a debate over which boxing network is better check hooks throws out neg karma?? Talk about sissy.:loser:

Showtime has the better boxing cards now but HBO is still the superior channel overall. I don't think Showtime numbers are going to beat HBO's for a while. It's not like HBO boxing is dead, they still have good fights they can make with Top Rank.

No surprise tbh,it's HBO..

I DVR'd all of them and when I came home Sunday morning I smoked a few bowls and watched all the boxing and then came and talked sh*t on here.

Well HBO has a way bigger subscribers base, but that being said Showtime owned them that night as far as fights go, and also as we tell people we know and people find out i expect Showtimes numbers to go up especially if they keep putting great cards like that together .

boxing is dead!!!! It's very poor numbers. kessler-Froch 517,000 Dawson-Stevenson 1,024,000 January 25, 2003 – HBO – Ricardo Mayorga vs. Vernon Forrest Total average viewership of 3 million people (P2+) watching Live+Same Day. February 8, 2003 – HBO – Shane Mosley vs. Raul Marquez Total average viewership of 3.5 million people (P2+) watching Live February 15, 2003 – HBO – Tim Austin vs. Rafael Marquez Total average viewership of 2.8 million people (P2+) watching Live+Same Day. UFC on Fuel TV this past weekend got 313,000 viewers and is available in 36 million homes. HBO is available in about 28-30 million homes and did 1 million. SHO is available in about 22-23 million homes and did close to 600,000. Which one is dead again? If Boxing is dead you're basing that on the fact that Boxing used to do 34,000,000 viewers on network when Ali was around. If we're comparing the numbers to that Boxing is dead and the UFC is a premature fetus on life support trying to survive with tubes in the ICU. Back to this topic, people don't know WTF they are talking about. The SHO numbers are up big time, these are Super Six numbers for SHO and they didn't pay close for this card then what they were paying back then. Ward vs. Froch 580,000 viewers Ward vs. Ward 610,000 viewers They have had 3 cards in the past year that break 1 million viewers when that was unheard at SHO since I've been following the ratings. Dan Rafael tweeting the numbers has more to do with this. http://105.imagebam.com/download/98nMX7Jz2pOBRdnEpywEgA/26008/260076340/fatdan.JPG Espinoza was styling on him and fat Dan is retaliating.

Showtime has been taking a raping with no lube from HBO.

Point blank HBO booted GBP azz because the lack of good fights they offered. Now that GBP is now on wack azzzzs Showtime they have no choice but to put on better cards. Now GBP is getting less exposure with better fights,I wonder how Oscar feels about this?.. They've been screwing HBO for years. And sometimes things have to end to see different things happen.
