GGG-Monroe AVG 1.338M, Peak 1.474. Roman/Sosa got 961k

Reek will get his revenge. Maybe, but there is something else he won't get back...

gennady golovkin would beat the hell out of miguel cotto. most of you guys would be calling it a mismatch and sh#tting on it. you'd be in the right, but you have to recognize that cotto holds the lineal championship at the weight, and beating him is golovkin's job. Exactly! Some people act like Cotto doesn't hold the Lineal Middleweight title and that GGG wants to pick on him for no good reason. As long as you hold and defend a title, you're open season to anyone in the division, no matter where the hell you started in your career.

I'm not talking about GGG specifically, but what seems to be HBO's long term strategy. The HBO/K2 strategy sems clear, if Golovkin isn't a big enough name to attract bigger fights, then they're going to put him on frequently enough to where he becomes a bigger name and gets bigger fights. Long term, it's probably Canelo-Golovkin. Short term, Canelo-Cotto and Golovkin against somebody like Andy Lee or David Lemiuex (if he wins), and perhaps both (Lee, then Lemieux). As long as Golovin isn't turning down middleweight fights, there's no reason for HBO to go away from him.

Good Numbers!

Pigeons just went full retard.

It's actually a very fair comparison as they both air on HBO. An unfair comparison would be comparing HBO boxing to the Walking Dead's 15M viewers. GoT is popular because it's good, not because it's expensive to produce. Boxing is dead, not because it's cheap to produce, but because no one watches. 1.3M is a reason to celebrate? Lastly, take Golovkin's balls out your mouth. Let them breathe. It's a fair comparison but a really stupid one. You're comparing one of the best TV shows of this generation to live sports Pigeons. GoT is doing better ratings than the NBA playoffs are doing right now in primetime network TV. De La Hoya 8 years ago when he was the biggest star in boxing pulled only 2.1 million viewers on HBO.

Pretty good numbers, HBO really outdoing themselves this year.

You mean like Cotto fighting Geale? Let's be real here. What's good for the sport is the top fighters fighting other top fighters. That's not happening so GGG is doing what he should be doing. Making enough noise to force these guys to fight him. I'm not talking about GGG specifically, but what seems to be HBO's long term strategy. As for GGG, I understand, but he can always move up or take a pittance to fight better guys or he could move up. Hopefully, if he can't get Canelo or cotto next, he fights Lara in stead of another Willie Monroe level opponent.

OK. Thanks. I think its clear fans like GGG and like to see vicious KO's. I think it means we are going to see more of stars in with "look good losers" since the ratings are so high. Long term, with regards to the this do you think it helps or hurts the sport? You mean like Cotto fighting Geale? Let's be real here.

Like 800K? Something like that? try 900K closer to that... Goes in hand with "the public loves mismatches" that some are posting. Dont forget SALKA!!!

Comparing to Game of Thrones which is one of the most popular TV shows in the world is unfair. I bet HBO spend more per episode on GoT than they do on broadcasting rights to GGG fights. GoT is one of the most expensive shows on television and should not be compared to what it costs to put on a boxing show. http://mic.com/articles/87169/here-s-how-much-it-costs-to-make-a-game-of-thrones-episode The average Game of Thrones episode costs $6 million to make. That's two to three times what a typical network or cable show costs per episode (Breaking Bad episodes cost around $3 million, early Big Bang Theory cost $2 million). But when you consider what the HBO team is packing in for those bucks, it's a bit of a marvel. TV shows that spend more than average are usually shelling out the dough for one of two things: big sets or big names. Though we love the actors now, Game of Thrones went for the former.

“Chocolatito’s” debut on HBO 49% percent higher audience number than GGG's HBO debut (September 2012, 685,000 viewers vs. Gregorz Proska)Nice , hes helping the little guys make a better living.

For comparison's sake, Game of Thrones did 6.56M viewers Sunday night. Boxing is dead. Comparing to Game of Thrones which is one of the most popular TV shows in the world is unfair. I bet HBO spend more per episode on GoT than they do on broadcasting rights to GGG fights.

I'd stop caring about Cotto at MW if he left MW

The HErrera/Garcia fight was followed by the B-Hop, but under 1M OK. Thanks. I think its clear fans like GGG and like to see vicious KO's. I think it means we are going to see more of stars in with "look good losers" since the ratings are so high. Long term, with regards to the this do you think it helps or hurts the sport?

Garcia salka was the most trashed mismatch on here and it got the best numbers lol The best numbers out of all the mismatches? You're saying shit numbers is a good thing? Confused now

If that's true, Showtime would've had better numbers last year Garcia salka was the most trashed mismatch on here and it got good numbers
