910,000 average viewers for Ward-Barrera card

**** off already with your agenda.

How is this considered good for HBO Boxing? 2 hours of programming cost them over $2.2 million. Reruns of old movies on a Saturday night pull in better averages across 2 hours. SMH You dont know that. You havent the slightest idea how much HBO paid in licensing fees. All you know for a fact is that Roc Nation Sports paid $2.2 million in purses to Ward and Barrera.......

He's a Haymon fan boy what do you expect. Re tard making posts left and right about HBO yet Showtime went from a year ago avg Boxing ratings that were neck and neck with HBO. And in 1 short year they are now avg 30-50% the ratings HBO draw. But we get constant posts by this loser about how HBO is in trouble. lol Yet Wilder, Broner ect drawing 500k viewers when a year earlier they were both avg over 1mil viewers isn't a concern? When Haymon ratings flop this loser is in damage control mode or in hiding. Jacobs vs Quillin Showtime spent 3mil for the them 2 alone and got 300k ratings worry about Showtime dude not HBO. Never seen an adult with such callous lapse of inconsistency. On one hand he makes hundreds of threads that say HBO is cheap. On other threads he makes he says HBO is stupid for spending vast amounts of money. The guy doesn't know what he wants. He's confused as hell.

I don't know why anyone is posting about ratings anyway. What is the fascination with counting other people's money? 90% of the people posting about ratings don't know the difference between rating, share, demo and total and have even less of a clue how the boxing business works. If I see a good fight, I couldn't care less about how many other people saw it. It's not an L or a W for any network or fighter because I don't assume I know their business and their metrics...and I don't care. If I find In 'N Out burgers to be delicious, why do I care if the location I go to is profitable? Or that the company as a whole is turning a profit? Or whether McDonald's is making more profit per hamburger and or whether Burger King sells more fries? Just enjoy the hamburger and stop complaining.

HBO is damned either way with this idiotic TS He starts countless threads that say HBO should be giving generous amounts of money to fighters who can't draw flies, "They're cheap!" Then he makes contradictory threads and says, "Look, they spent astronomical sums for this fight and see how it turned out, a failure in the ratings." -------------- HBO intends to spend less and this idiotic poster says, "FOUL!" HBO spends more and this idiotic poster says, "they got ripped off!" He's a Haymon fan boy what do you expect.

How does HBO make its money? Through subscribers? I think they have a budget in mind, with regards to retaining fans of boxing, so so long as they don't go over that amount the low numbers shouldn't cost them. What would cost them is an insufficient amount of subscribers which would relate to their entire package. That said, I'm not sure how they earn their money. I just always assumed that it was different to other stations which made their money through selling time slots for advertisement. They compile the average viewership for that time slot on a daily and every Saturday for months/years. Then they compare it to the programming (Ward-Barrera). If 400k avg. will tune in at all times for everything during that timeslot, the real viewung figure is 910k - 400k = 510k 510k X average cost of subscription = total revenue from boxing

SMH Showtime's high this year so far is what Deontay Wilder a month or 2 ago that drew only 500k for the main event and much lower for the entire block of fights. HBO doubled up Showtime. You got Jacobs vs Quillin doing 300k viewers. I think it's time you start making posts about why Showtime has lost more then half their viewers in just 1 years time then worrying about HBO.
