Heavy D: Hopkins-Pascal 2 highest rated HBO fight since 2009

[warp1432]

for all the other **** fight they made and lost $$$ on. so they *** up 10 times and get one right. that's real freaking smart huh? and do you see any management change?

They've had pretty good ratings for each event they've had since Martinez Williams II back in November. They have turned things around in the ratings department. It might not be where HBO execs want them to be, but they have been improving.

Bradley Alexander did a 1.5, Alvarez Hatton did a 1.4, Donaire Montiel did around a Million, Berto Ortiz did a 1.6, and now you have Hopkins Pascal II doing a 1.8.

The only event I can't find ratings for is the Martinez fight. Besides that, each HBO event has had over a million viewers. That's awesome.

Hopkins picked a good time not to as boring as Wlad..

If Wlad fought in North America against the following opponents he would beat these rating with ease.

1. Vitali
2. Haye
3. Adamek
4. Holyfield
5. Toney
6. Povetkin
7. Valuev
8. Eddie Chambers
9. Arreola
10. Fury

Pretty much any of those guys and probably many others would get 1.8 mil or more if Wlad would fight in North America. The fight that this fight did the best since was a Vitali fight...the last time a Klitchko fought in North America.

In between 4 fights televised on HBO this year, they have attracted approximately 6 Million viewers.

Donaire-Montiel: 1.2 Million
Canelo-Hatton: 1.4 Million
Berto-Ortiz: 1.5 Million
Hopkins-Pascal II: 1.8 Million

Yeah. Berto is such a success. It's laughable. Look at how top rank and left.

So that's 5 fights= 7.5 Million viewers. Add up Marquez vs Katsidis probably makes it 8 Million with 6 fights. Canelo is gonna fight again and probably get good ratings, Klitschko-Haye might do over 1 million.

The guy who said for every 10 fights they do, they get one right. Must not follow ratings.

Who's talking about fighters? We're talking ratings.

If you want to talk about fighters, look at Matt Hatton.

Ortiz-Berto was a success in every way, it's even a top FOTY candidate.

[Uncle Sam]

Kinda sad that HBO is bragging about this fight coming close to the ratings the last Vitali Klitschko fight they aired got. Seriously, theres no doubt that either bro could be a star in the U.S. if HBO wasnt run by people with a natural hatred for Eastern Euros...yeah so Vitali and Wlad look like the guys who killed 6 million of your relatives...I assure you they are not them, get over it, promote them, pay them and encourage them to fight in the U.S.. Its not the product killing the HW division, its the promotion in the U.S.

Hater.

EDIT--Damn bro, you are bordering on several levels of delusion.

if hbo was doing such a great job in rating why did many thought that greenburg himself was gonna get canned?

I wonder how Martinez's last fight did. Do you have any idea?
