          1.8 million in the USA is pretty low, with there being a lot of mexicans living in the USA anyway. The haye/wlad fight did 500million worldwide

            1.8 million is actually great HBO numbers.

              this cant be true... BOXING IS DEAD

              on a serious note Top Rank probably made some mad money off of this television revenue and the gate was in access of $1 million not a bad little card.

              Mexico, Philippines, and Germany have had massive Boxing ratings over the last few years.

                Those are amazing numbers for an HBO fight indeed... Dana White must be one of the biggest haters of Vaca de Dinero Jr.

                    i have no idea how sky works over there but I'm telling you how it is here - 1.8 million on HBO is solid numbers these days (sadly).

                    Hopkins vs Pascal II was the highest HBO boxing ratings since 2009, with 1.8 million views.
                    Last Saturday's rematch between Jean Pascal and Bernard Hopkins on HBO attracted a viewing audience of 1.8 million viewers, making it the most-watched HBO fight since 2009.

                    A pair of 2009 fights were more-watched than this one. The September 2009 fight between Vitali Klitschko and Chris Arreola did 2.124 million viewers, which is HBO's highest-rated fight in recent memory, and benefited from having the Mayweather vs Marquez replay preceding the live broadcast. And in January 2009, the Antonio Margarito vs Shane Mosley fight did 1.9 million viewers.
