Rigo breaks GGG's HBO ratings record

[Public_Enemy]

Not surprised. I'm glad HBO put Rigo back on but it also went against a Showtime card that was better. It's like he was set up for failure. The HBO card was pretty bad on Saturday even though the Kirkland-Tapia fight turned out to be good.

LOL... didn't you see how the arena was completely empty with the few people there on their cellphones for the Rigo fight yet full and people jumping and **** for the Kirkland/Tapia bout.

Fact is, Rigo is boring and no on likes that style except the 13 purists on this site.

Showtime barely got more... both were killed by CFB

By contrast, Showtime's viewership on Sat night: Lara-Trout 429k viewers, Bika-Dirrell 446k, Porter-Alexander 515k, Malignaggi-Judah 640k.

As I was discussing on the forum last week, this was the get-your-pillow sleep aid boxing card. Most fights were boring on paper and it translated to fight night.

People want to see action for their money, blood and guts warriors that entertain them. People don't take time out of their normal lives to pay to watch two cowards run and avoid each other inside a ring. Customers want to see something that gets their adrenaline going for their hard earned money.

According to some people, the crowd was on the side and below the camera.

Yep! Damn, look at that lol (and it was empty on every side too btw). Take a look at the Tapia/Kirkland crowd, the place was packed. I was going to take a few photos Saturday because it is truly a sight to see. Then he talks on interviews like he is some sort of destroyer, which is even sadder.

Probably. That's the only angle i've seen passed around.
I know there was more people than that though from what I remember in the fight

The 550k viewers drawn by Rigo-Agbeko is among the lowest viewerships in HBO's Boxing After Dark history. #boxing

Let's see if it goes down or to 1.1 million next time

LOL Rigo is boring, I want anyone here bashing promoters who say they can't sell Rigo, take 10 fighters who box just like Rigo invest 10 million lets see if you clowns will say the same tune.

They would go broke in no time.

Rigo best bet is to fight as a undercard co main event on big ppv's. He cannot headline an event, the arena was empty and you can see people yawning and walking out.

I read somewhere that there was a decent crowd, but a fairly large amount left after the Rigo fight started.
