Comments Thread For: Golovkin Continues Rating Climb With 1.1 Million on HBO

[King_]

Anyone have a list of ratings for events/cards for the year?

I've been saying this since GGGs first fight on HBO with Proksa, though: With HBO backing GGG, he's unavoidable. They are not only going to throw BIG money for potential big fights down the line, but with the documentaries like two days on golovkin (and probably many more to come) you can tell HBO is ready to have GGG be their next "star"

With a man so humble and likeable out of the ring (IMO) who can complain? He's great for the sport

1.1 million? That's as much as Floyd. Wow.

It's more, but the difference is Floyd's numbers are curtailed by PPV.

Who says HBO is sinking?

Just cause they have alot of subscribers doesnt mean their boxing program is good. HBO itself will be fine

Friend of mine watched fight but had no idea who fought.

..Americans knows 3G, he's the guys that beat the slick Andre Dirrell, in Athens Olympics.

Could you explain what you mean by that in layman's terms?

Afaik Golovkin's fight is available "free" on a subscription channel, whereas to watch Floyd you have to not only have a subscription channel but also pay-per-view which I think is upwards of $50.

Thought that's what you meant - thanks for that. Floyd's PPV fights are actually $70 now.

Still impressive numbers, IMO.

Floyd's numbers are based on PPV, not subscriber based HBO

a new PPV star is born! This dude will bring big numbers when he hits PPV. All he wants is the big names, but everyone wants to duck him!

Showtime lost money with Floyd in his last fight...:AOR:

Lol Quillin goes life and death with Frech snail chefs on an undercard meanwhile GGG headlines his own card and proceeds to break his opponents ribs...

Quillin is still shook though.
