Ward-Rodriguez on HBO peaks at 1.2 mil viewers

thats ****ing terrible i bet more people tuned into watch degale on the same night

Ward just doesnt generate any excitement. Aint that the truth. He's just sooo boring. It's crazy how he's considered #2 p4p and no one outside of hardcore fans even knows who he is.

Dan Rafael ‏@danrafaelespn According to Nielsen, last Sat's Ward-Rodriguez fight on HBO drew 1.2M viewers, peaking at 1.3M. Considering HBO paid $3.15M that's poor. HBO will probably push for Ward-Chavez next, they'll want some return on their investment.

I respect Ward but I just can't get excited for his fights. He dominates but it's not even like "ohhhhh look at the smooth boxing" It's ugly to watch. You know it's bad when B Hop has the more exciting fights as of late.

Even Bradley got more viewers against ruslan in a fight that was at first thought not to be risky at all.

You can't really believe that? Mike Tyson had an exciting style and he could be fighting a bum nobody ever herd of and who stood ZERO chance of even going a round and he would still draw massive numbers. If Ward had an exciting style he would do better numbers end of. Obv opponents etc help so I get what u are saying there but opponents/layoffs etc are only a part of the picture. His style, which makes for far from riveting tv is the other. If that was the case B-Hop would not still be getting TV Dates and decent Pay Days Just to destroy your Mike Tyson theory (because I can!), Mike Tyson was a heavyweight after a stale ERA of Larry Holmes and Spinks in the Heavyweight Division, American Fans was just happy to be excited about an American Heavyweight at the time also not many is better than Don King at making SUPERSTARS IN BOXING, Don King did a MASTERFUL JOB selling Mike Tyson because it was no way Tyson could sell himself Don King also help Build Chavez Sr and Trinidad into MEGA DRAWS! If it was SIMPLY about STYLE like some of you love to say than how come none of these KO Artist/Brawlers are PPV Stars or Draws and have YET to headline a PPV? But yet their styles Draw so well Right? LMFAO You know what Sell the Most? BIG MATCH UPS! More so than "STYLE". Put #1 vs #2 in the ring and people will match more so that #1 fighting a overhyped #4 or #5 guy in his Division Mayweather vs Canelo did great because it was the #1 vs #2 guy at 154 among other things

Ward just doesnt generate any excitement.

The Tyson show did only 880,000. This is in line with what Ward did with Dawson. So the Ward fight actually got more viewers than it's lead in?

Ok, finalized Ward-Rodriguez ratings on HBO: average was 1,029,333 viewers. Their average for the main event was 1,191,000. #boxing— Steve Kim (@stevemaxboxing) November 20, 2013 (He meant peak for 1,191,000) So yeah, 1 million average viewers for the $3.2 million license fee is embarrassingly awful. Wow that is awful. One of the worst HBO cards in a while

The fascination with ratings numbers has jumped the shark. More poop leftover from the moronic Manny v Floyd war. Like I said in another threads. Grown ass men acting like Gold diggers. "Guuuurrrrllll. I don't know **** about boxing but I know there are some fighters that be making muuu---uuu--uuunnnneyy. I need to get me a piece of that Carl Froch. That man is paid and can help me with my career. Ballers on a budget ain't gettin a piece of this"

In a fight to the death big man Froch wins and that's all that matters. Oh lawd. this is probably what you said to yourself when Ward whipped his ass and you cried yourself to sleep. :killyou:

Before he started training for this fight I'm sure. He's still schooling people like your 'big man' Froch, and I like Froch. Ward beats him 10 out of 10 times though. Boring styles is the excuse fans make when a fighter is so skillful they don't wanna see him against their favorite boxer :lol1: :lol1: In a fight to the death big man Froch wins and that's all that matters.

When was the last time he commentated?. Like big man Froch said he could put a glass eye to sleep. Before he started training for this fight I'm sure.

:bottle::bottle::bottle: Don't matter, he still winning and getting paid. If not he could fall back and continue with his announcing career. When was the last time he commentated?. Like big man Froch said he could put a glass eye to sleep.

He better not fight for another year and hope people forget how boring he is. :bottle::bottle::bottle: Don't matter, he still winning and getting paid. If not he could fall back and continue with his announcing career.
