Donaire-Nishioka does 835,000 viewers on HBO

[warp1432]

The number are in and Donaire Nishioka did only 835,000 viewers on HBO. Over the last two years, the average has been around 1.3 Million per fight.

In fact, Chavez-Martinez's replay on 9/22 did more than this fight at 852,000...

Oh but Donaire fought the #1 guy in his division, why did it do such low numbers?

Maybe 100s of thousands of other people felt the same way I did, that Nishioka wasn't really the best in he division and Donaire only picked him because of his age[37] and performance against a faded Marquez.

I'm proud that boxing fans aren't that ****** after all. Maybe HBO would think twice before buying these ****** one-sided match ups.

Nishioka is a complete unknown in NSB let alone the public, and this is the typical lower weights fight

.....Ouch lol. What is Donaire's lowest rating?

I don't know if you forgot, but Rios-Alvarado was on this card as well. To be honest, fans that didn't turn on that fight are ******...

I saw Rios-Alvarado and called it the real main event of the night. After the fight I left to hang out and watch the Yankee game. I saw Donaire-Nishioka via the trading block.

donaire doesn't deserve a rigo fight till he becomes more known.

Isn't that about average for a BAD? I know WCB cards average around 1 million+ viewers, but BAD cards don't get nearly as much promotion and usually get lower ratings.

That's pretty bad.

Thanks for the #s.

Montiel-Donaire did more than 1 million viewers.. But that was because Montiel was the bigger name.
