If PPV sales are what matter, why...

Hatton is a bigger draw then Cotto will ever be.

"Unlike the ratings for the broadcast networks, which measure households in a national sample, the cable ratings for a channel will reflect only how its shows do among households that happen to get that channel, or what is referred to as the channel's coverage area."

Premium cable channels have far less coverage than the standard cable channels so they scale differently. IOW, the 2.1 for HBO (premium) represents fewer less households (and in turn viewers) than a 2.1 would on USA (basic/standard).

Thanks for taking the time out to post. Now I understand how it works.

Dude you were wrong he was right, deal with it.

I don't have to "deal" with anything. jmah and I were having a discussion. Yes I was wrong, no shame in admitting that. I just like to confirm that certain data is correct, and don't like to assume just because someone posted it, it is indeed fact. By him taking the time to post a source I have a clearer understanding of how nielsen rating work, and in effect won't post wrong numbers in the future myself.

Guess Sugar Ray Robinson wasn't a true champion then.

Ray Robinson ducked nobody and ended up broke.....
The only guy that has a reasonable claim to being avoided was Burley Ray fought twice in one month for a TITLE!
Guy was a warrior the fighters back then couldn't afford to chose fights because money was scarce even people like Louis who had the biggest gate at the time ended up heavy in debt.
