It's hilarious that Froch/Groves in the afternoon did the same as Stevenson/Fonfara.

So much for that convenient excuse that overseas fights don't do well on TV in the US. Hell, they didn't even fight at some ******ed local time to accommodate US TV.

They don't usually. That's what makes these numbers great and the whole event a rousing success.

Andre Ward will still find an excuse for not wanting to travel.

Wonder what the UK PPV buys are. I heard they wanted a million.

Let's see. A champion, who's not a big draw, and who's not a big puncher doesn't wanna travel overseas to fight a local star that he's already beaten on his home turf where there's a solid chance he'll need a KO to get a draw. Sounds like valid "excuses" to me.

What's hilarious is that those numbers on HBO (which has more subscribers) are being called a hit.

But the Stevenson numbers on Showtime were called poor and a disappointment.

What the hell is up with that?

Explain it to me.

Stevenson-Fonfara peaked at 800,000 viewers on a network that has far fewer subscribers than HBO. On Memorial Day weekend.

But that was considered horrible.

It was on at prime time and Stevenson is a North American fighter has been showcased on HBO several times.
