Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Canelo Breaks Mexico's TV Rating Record

[DoktorSleepless]

LOS ANGELES - Nearly 8-out-of-10 households in Mexico with a television set tuned into last Saturday's "THE ONE: Mayweather vs. Canelo" mega-fight live on Televisa's Channel 5.

The is wrong. It should be around 4 out of 10 households in Mexico with a television set tuned in because it got a 42 point rating. 1 point represents 1 percent of Mexican households with tvs.

The share is something different. It means that out of all the households who were watching TV at the time, 77% were watching the fight.

Its not all about Kos. Its about knock down drag out punches in bunches. Heated exchanges. Face pounding body rocking non stop action fight! Wether it ends in a KO or not doesnt matter. What matters is the fans cant sit down due to the action in the ring.

You dont get that with Floyd. You get...pot shots. Grabbing and clinching. Running around the ring snooze fest. He is almost exciting as Golf. Or Tennis!

Hey be fair. Golf and Tennis are by far way more popular in America and around the world then boxing is.

Whatever station it was shown on likely had to pay showtime some sorta licensing fee for braodcasting rights. I'm sure showtime also see's a chunk of the ad revenue generated from the TV advertisements shown during the bout.

I enjoyed the fights.......During the cano fight we got the drinks flowing.
During the smith vs molina we played pool and cards cuz the fight ******.
Then we all sat down to watch Garcia vs Matthysse which was a pretty good scrap.

And then the place got wild for Mayweather vs Canelo. It lacked drama but it was a good fight.

What shocked me the most was that for the second time in a row they never mentioned Pacquiao lol.
That guy is way off the map now. It's sad that May vs Pac never happened.
