Fascinating boxing ratings from the weekend. The Pacquiao-Bradley replay on HBO averaged 693k viewers. The Hopkins fight on SHO averaged

760k viewers. Porter-Malignaggi did 897k viewers and Quillin fight did 622k. Overall, Sho card averaged 693 for the 3 fights.

Oops. One little typo. Pac Bradley replay average was 689k, not 693. The 693k was the entire Showtime 3-fight event. Sorry

Looks like people would rather watch a Pac/Bradley rematch than Quillin.

Anybody think Easter mass had anything to do with these numbers? I have a feeling we're going to hear this as a why

Interesting, the Porter fight did considerably higher numbers then the other 2 fights

The porter/Paulie numbers surprised me. Either Paulie is still a draw, Porter is rising or people weren't interested in the main even though what was at stake

Hopkins Shumenov would have done over a million on HBO

Pretty bad numbers overall. I dont think easter was that big of a factor, cause people were probably at their location at 10 at night. NBA Playoffs, NHL Playoffs, and even possibly UFC factored into this. Overall pretty dissappointing numbers.

Probably... it's a shame. Hopkins is one of Showtime's big number getters.... so a little surprised Porter/Malignaggi did almost 900k

Not bad. I don't pay too much attention to ratings but I'm assuming those are good numbers considering that HBO had the Bradley-Manny fight on.

Well Dana White is saying he had bad numbers this weekend too, so who knows. But Hopkins is one of their big number getters... decent drop from his last fight against a worse opponent.

Whether it be the Pac/Bradley replay or the day before Easter....who knows

I honestly did not know they had Manny/Bradley on. I was watching boxing on Shotime from 6 p.m. (central time) until the end. I was so used to them having a fight on, then showing the previous weeks PPV before the fight. So since they had no fight, I didnt even bother to look.
