Crazy to think that those were good numbers on a premium network like HBO a decade ago.

RIP HBO Championship Boxing

You’re comparing Apples to oranges. ESPN is a basic cable channel, meaning most Americans have it. HBO is/was a premium channel that obviously not everyone elects to pay for. I believe HBO has around 35-40 million subscribers and ESPN has 85-90 million, so for every 500k that tunes into HBO that’s equivalent to 1mil in ESPN.

I personally think Boxing is trending. I also think at the moment boxing is more popular than MMA at least in America it is. These are above average numbers. 23 year old Shakur just earned a 1M pay day on cable tv that’s more than the UFC heavyweight champion earned in his last fight.

My point flew over your head. Don’t worry about it.

personally I have no idea why that kid obsesses with my posts, ignored him nigh on a year or so ago and he still rants and raves any time I call bs on the resident racists.
to the dope smoking nerd who hates it when I speak out against anti black racism…mate, shut it. You’re not white, quit obsessing with black people like some kind of Mexican klansman. Dump the far right trump routine, I’m white, you’re not.

This from a coward who cant confront me directly, but will trash talk to others about me. Not ignoring much when you have so much to say about me just too scared to man up. It's only words chump, face it, you know I'd own you if you addressed me directly. You play victim and spew nonsense and I call you out, then you run off. You are obsessed with race, you cant help it, it's really the only thing you can bring up. If you are white you are the kind of guy whose wife has a boyfriend. Bet you make them both dinner before going to your seperate room.

Solid numbers. I was in attendance and it was a big crowd as well.

My mistake, you’re right, espn is in most packages right above basic. Point still relevant tho. ESPN subscribers have always more than doubled HBO

It's ok chico, once upon a time it was but now ---> I had to stream it which seems to be more challenging as time goes on. These places shut down so fast.

Lol you must've skipped over the part where it read that he did 120,000 more views than his last fight.
