Rigo breaks GGG's HBO ratings record

[bojangles1987]

Not far behind Showtimes

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

Just looking at it, that's not a list of fights I would expect to have people sitting home on a Saturday night watching.

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

From what I heard, most of them were Jersey Boy fans

Yea, people that were actually there are confirming it. Pretenders like Golovkin are going around spreading bs.

At least not to a casual fan... main event had name recognition and I'm sure St. Louis people tuned in

You're so full of **** dude. You know damn well you weren't in the venue.

You are a dumbass. Of course, I wasn't. But I have HBO which showed every single side of the arena as the fight was taking place. It was empty all around. Don't talk if you don't have factual information, little boy.

[ElMeroChingon]

I call BS , it's inflated.

People probably went to sleep with the TV on after the Kirkland fight.

***** is halarious.

ziiingggg

No they didn't. They only showed that same side hougigo posted. They would barely show any other side where you could actually see.

I don't get why rigo fans are *****ing, blame the fans who don't want to watch his boring style. Boxing is a business Arum can promote this guy up the arse and still not make him a draw, he would lose more money promoting him and not get any profit back, its a risky task, if anything Rigo is overpaid and he should be blessed and grateful that he even gets 300-500k a fight, HBO and Arum are taking a loss with this guy. He should just put him on PPV undercards for Pac or Chavez Jr again because he can't sell tickets.

Does rigo have skills hell yeah he does, but come on guys be unbiased and learn business, the guy cant sell for ****.

Wow, you are a moron. In case you never noticed, as the fights happen they switch cameras which end up showing every side of the ring. It was empty all around.

For the Kirkland fight, EVERY side was packed. Stop crying already though, facts are facts.

[marvelousmatt]

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.

So true.Rigo's style is just plain awful. I like purists too but Rigo is impossible to watch. He has little/no entertainment value & no fanbase.
