Comments Thread For: Donaire's HBO Rating More Than Doubled Khan's Return

[2501]

It's not as clear cut as the headline makes it. There was the Pacquiao/Marquez replay and also that Arce is aslo a celebrity in Mexico and among Mexican Americans. He's come out on numerous shows on Spanish networks and even Mexico's version of Big Brother.

JMM vs Pacquiao 4 replay I am sure had a lot to do with those Ratings...taking nothing away from Donaire but lets be honest here

that being said Khan vs Molina was a **** CARD!

khan molina was a **** card?

Well nonito was fighting arce while amir was fighting a noobie.

Maybe he made some new boxing fans...... Maybe not.... Either way good for him and the "little guys"

Yeah man good for the lower weight classes. Imagine Donaire vs Mares, I think it would hit a million views.

Great ratings for Donaire since his ratings have been very weak. The replay definitely played a big factor here and also it being Larry Merchant's last telecast.

The Khan rating was also very good, SHO doesn't get big numbers when compared to HBO.

To put it into perspective the finale of the Super Six between Ward and Froch peaked at 580,000 viewers.

This had ZERO to do with the Donaire fight itself, more to do with the Pac-JMM replay.
