Berto - Ortiz | Most watched since Cotto - Foreman

Now that I think about it, I could of sworn Bradley/Alexander did 1.5 though. Maybe it was 1.4. Anyone have the yearly numbers so far? It seems like most of the WCB has easily cleared the 1 million mark.

Montiel Donaire I think did a 1.1 and Alvarez Hatton did a 1.5 as well.

People must have been calling their friends during rd 6, telling them "turn on HBO!!!"

Hopefully not. If they tuned in after rd 6 they missed the best 6 rounds of the year and saw a ton of holding.

anyone know the bradley v alexander ratings? i recall them not being great

[FloydTBE]

wow, thats awesome

google it ... cause i dont know the ratings but i heard they stunk

- As the Strikeforce event was happening on Showtime, there was a boxing event on HBO between Devon Alexander vs. Timothy Bradley. the consensus was that the Showtime Strikeforce event was much better television than the boxing bout. Eddie Goldman, of No Holds Barred Radio host and combat enthusiast Eddie Goldman posted on Twitter: ”Showtime #MMA KOs HBO #boxing tonite. 3 sub wins vs. head butt-filled technical dec. Down goes boxing, again”…. as far as ratings go, Alexander vs Bradley peaked at 1.45 million viewers, but HBO is in more homes than Showtime and typically draws well for boxing events. Combined, there were over 2 million viewers watching boxing and MMA last night on the premium channels.

So it did nearly 1.5 million. Warp also mentioned that Alvarez/Hatton did 1.5 million. It seems like HBO is doing well with their WCB choices.

btw lol at this MMA article bashing boxing and big upping their 400,000 viewers.

1.45m.....

For the amount of promotion they put behind it, its not that great.

Yeah, for the amount they paid the fighters and the promotion it isn't as good as cheapers fights like Alvarez V Hatton. Ortiz and Berto got paid but that was also cheaper. Thing is you gotta look at the Alexander/Bradley fight as a major investment because it was supposed to set up their biggest fight of the year with Khan. What sucks is that fight blew and may actually hurt ratings for the Khan fight. Still should be the highest rated fight of the year but it backfired for sure.

That's pretty good numbers considering no one really knew them beforehand.
