    Berto - Ortiz | Most watched since Cotto - Foreman

    Dan Rafael
    HBO said Ortiz-Berto drew 1.5M viewers for live Saturday airing, making it the most watched HBO fight since Cotto-Foreman (1.6M) in June '10


    A fight like that deserved those ratings.

      I agree with you OP, I never thought it was going to be a fight like that.
      Man it was amazing to see the shots dealt and shots received. Great fight and both fighters won that night. They both made fans and earned respect throughout the world.

        I was at the doctors today and cracked open this months SI and noticed HBO took a whole page ad out for this fight. Never read SI so I'm not sure it's normal but I would have to think no.
