Comments Thread For: Loeffler Predicts Golovkin-Geale Will Get Highest '14 Rating

Brook-Porter is a damn good main event also.

Yeah thats a good one too, but rios/chaves will probly outrate them on the ratings...sum people choose 1 network or the other hbo preferably but fortunately for me i have both sho/hbo and contribute ratings to both networks! Good fights coming up.

I'd hope so. 1.39m is such a low bar. Just for comparisons sake, more people paid $75 to watch some of Mayweather and Pac's PPVs.

The takeaway from this article should be HBO's ability to create and build its stars. Showtime only knows how to market stars HBO created. Showtime doesn't even know what to do with Keith Thurman. A fighter like Thurman would be a ratings hit on HBO. Even guys like Viktor Postol get seen by at least 1 million viewers on the standard HBO undercard.

Golovkin is a message board star. Nothing more nothing less.

I think it will. Very good heavyweight fight on the undercard and then a good matchup for one of boxing's rising stars. Sounds like a winner.

What's the top ratings fight at the moment? It has to be one of hbo's previous cards. Gamboa/Crawford?

Yea, just a bunch of keyboard warriors with Nielsen boxes tuninginto him

No one wants to fight golovkin. I think once someone outboxes him or makes him look bad people will then line up to fight him. I would only favour ward against him thats all from 154 to 168. I think him vs floyd is a 50/50 fight.

No way this beats that stacked card coming up on Showtime headlined by Danny Garcia and some dude I never heard of (but is a regional belt holder).

IMO, HBO's August 2nd card is the best of the year so far and could out-rate Golovkin-Geale.

Third highest huh? Looks like a lot of people overestimated GGG's drawing power.
