Crawford-Gamboa averages 1.2 million viewers on HBO

Crawford and Gamboa >>>>>> Showtime It's a crazy idea that if you put together a good fight, not a mismatch or a showcase fight, people will tune in. Can't believe no one else does this as well! You're crazy, it's all about who talks the most. As long as you talk a lot, it doesn't matter who you fight because you're building your brand and people care about that. Helps that it's HBO, too.

Well done. That was a great fight.

Crawford better strike while the iron is hot. He should get a big fight at 140 and if he wins then he'll be a boxing star.

Nobody should be surprised that HBO is killing it with the fights. Ken Hershman is the freaking man.

showtime gets about half that but according to floyd fans they are taking over boxing

Too bad it won't be as good as August ninth

Great numbers. One of the best main events of the year but the undercard wasn't too impressive. Regardless I'm glad TC and YG did their numbers, Omaha and it's feisty fans were put on display and showed warmth and cheer behind their fighters.

network pillow fight coming up--oh wait already started

respectable for a hbo card...half of that is what's respectable for sho:lol1:

good. the rounds past round 4 in that fight were freaking exciting, and in 1-4 you could definitely see how it would become a great clash of styles. i'd love to see a rematch, but it looks like crawford is going to be steered to 147, and possibly a matchup with manny pacquiao. there's nothing arum wants more than to pass the manny torch to an american fighter who he controls, and who is young.

Damn, good number. Im kinda surprised since Crawford is unknown and Gamboa has been relatively inactive.
