Broner vs Maidana pulled 1.2 million viewers on Showtime

Very good but I expected more. That's less people than Paulie-Broner which pulled 1.3 million. It's unfortunate because had it been on HBO it would have done monstrous numbers. Showtime simply still doesn't have the subs and pull to draw more viewers. It's more than what Canelo and Cotto pulled. It's a shame ST are putting so much effort in but in reality by taking the boxers to ST they are hurting the sport's viewership.

That's great,, and thats how it should be, if the networks give us good cards with great main events, its up to us boxing fans to show our support by giving them ratings...

those are good numbers considering its 2 fighters that cant speak english well

showtime won't surpass hbo's ratings overnight, in months, or maybe even in years due to them broadcasting golden boy's star fighters. there is plenty of evidence of a significant increase in subs and if ST will surpass HBO in ratings it won't be for at least another 2-3 years

ST and HBO's ratings were very comparable this year with HBO edging ST, curious to see if ST manages to close that gap next year

HILARIOUS. Very good one

But seriously though, this card and the action deserved more viewers than this. I said no less than 1.3. Im a little disappointed that the masses truly missed out on one of the best fight cards of the year

Very good numbers but very surprising that it did less then the Paulie fight

i guess now we know why they took it off PPV...which im so grateful for...that was an awesome card

Good numbers, more should have seen this great card and exciting main event though.

[BUNGALOWS]

Decent numbers. GGG's 2 days, got more than double the ratings of this fight?

DAMN!
