Comments Thread For: Algieri-Provodnikov Highest Rated HBO B.A.D of 2014

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Things may not have went according to plan for Ruslan Provodnikov in his split decision title loss to Chris Algieri, but the Russian brawler solidified his status as an industry cult favorite.

Ratings for the June 14 title fight in Brooklyn, New York registered at 1.046 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research. The number is good for the third highest-rated cable TV fight of 2014 and also the highest-rated HBO Boxing After Dark fight of the year to date.

Good stuff. Cotto/Martinez replay might have helped too.

Algeri cash cow.

Cotto-Martinez helped, but those are good numbers for BAD. A rematch seems imminent.

Probably the case.

Cotto-Martinez supplied some of the audience, but Provodnikov is a known fighter now.

His two prior fights both did around 1.2 million (against Bradley and Alvarado)...and both were good fights, so some of that audience stayed with him.

The peak of the broadcast came during the Cotto-Martinez re-air. It says so right there in the article.
