Comments Thread For: Cotto vs. Trout Generates Record Rating on Showtime

Good exposure for trout. Thats a good enough reason to make a canelo/trout fight unless someone is scared *cough*...canelo.

That's insane numbers for SHO!!!!

HBO ratings are down this year and SHO is killing it.

Considering how ****ty the card was, that's pretty good.

Word its pretty surprising, Cotto bascially brought all views himself

[mrpain81]

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.....did 1.9 mil on HBO....against Andy Lee...

Overall they are down.

And I don't know the peak for that fight but the average was 1.6 million watching Live+ Same Day according to warp.

Showtime is in less households than HBO. These numbers will make their execs very happy, I think.

Damn, that's pretty impressive.

Admittedly the televised undercard was underwhelming and more of a showcase for Jacobs (who got fed a tune up fight understandably) and Velez (who fought a gimmick wearing gloves)

Pretty good numbers considering the circumstances. Showtime has less subscribers than HBO and for some folks in the west coast who have Comcast like myself don't have the Showtime East channel. So we have to watch it on delay on Showtime West which is BS. That alone turns off fight fans who will just watch the replay later as oppose to watching it live

Excellent figures, perphas this can open the doors to non PPV fights and just pack in more ads, the fans wont mind hearing about Corona and the corona girls parading around the right mid rounds.

This information is the reason we are going to get Cotto vs. Canelo next May. Good numbers for Miguel he has always been a big draw.
