Kovalev’s 7th round knockout win over Agnew was viewed in 1.006 million homes, according to data obtained from Nielsen Media Research. [Click Here To Read More]

Same here, thought it'd be way less.

Now where are the people who claimed that Sergey only drew good numbers last fight because Adonis was fighting too?

And, as much as people like to **** on HBO recently, it's still a bigger platform than Showtime.

It's a hopeful sign going forward. Maybe his next fight will explode the way Golovkin's ratings did. Especially if Kovalev fights Pascal.

I don't care where you're from or what language you speak, if you knock fools out you will get a fanbase.
