Comments Thread For: Rios-Alvarado 2 Pulled in 1.2 Million Viewers on HBO

[-PBP-]

Donaire-Arce did better as it pulled in over 1.3 Million for a fight that didn't even last a full 3 rounds.

That's skewed though because they showed the Pac/JMM fight before.

Pretty good. Remember it was competing with March Madness I believe.

all games were over by the time the fight started. but still a great number.

HBO is doing just fine sans GBP..Showtime is going to spend and spend trying to take down HBO.

Great to hear. The rematch war was a great fight for casual fans to see to make them want to see more.

Lol broner fought a bum in Reese and still did 1.6 mill. Wow I thought this fight would do nearly 2 mill. Broner and canelo are def on pace to be the cash cows

That's actually really good against an opponent like Reese.
Dude brings in the crowd and Showtime has both... now it's just a matter of Showtime bankrolling a majority of GBP's fights

Hbo > showtime...
