Wow that's it? A free event did less than his last PPV fight?

That's insane numbers for SHO!!!!

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

Pretty sure they're up

Why are you surprised? Nobody watches boxing anymore.

Posters like this are pathetic and need to keep their mouth shut. No one wants your worthless negativity. People like you are the reason boxing fans beat themselves up all the time.

Boxing's US fan base has grown from 31 million in 2002 to 50 million in 2012. NFL has 100 million, NASCAR 50 million, UFC 25 million.

I have no idea how you got those numbers and I don't want know. It's stupid measure the number of fans there are of a sport. What you can measure is the popularity of a sport. I can give you a long answer, but here's the short of it: boxing is less popular today in America then high school sports.

So Why not Alvarez/Trout next ? It's time for Canelo to step up and man up.

Then how is it that two American based boxers are among the top 5 most paid athletes in the world? Who's paying their wages?

The UFC is less popular than high school sports too.
