Comments Thread For: Golovkin a Hit in The Ring, But Moves Backwards In Ratings

[Godsfly]

July and August are generally poor ratings months. Those are the vacation months for many. As i said in another post after that though. It is still poor even taking summer into account. It had little more than half as many viewers from his last one

Summer ratings from 2012

Chavez Jr.-Andy Lee, June 16, HBO, 1.4 million
Adrien Broner-Vicente Escobedo, July 21, HBO, 1.4 million
Danny Garcia-Amir Khan, July 14, HBO, 1.3 million

[BucaRican]

Still disappointing though. Ratings are about 15-30% lower this time of year so less than a million is still shocking

I told you so....

See.. This is why I don't talk numbers. For the people that love bringing up 1.5 like it's some sort of accomplishment, I bet this brought y'all down a bit.

It doesn't change the quality a fighter that Triple G is, but it sure doesn't help any argument y'all might have had before. Yes, I'm talking to YOU

More wins like the victory over Geale is a step in the right direction. All those defenses against guys not in the top ten did little for his star power. Now is the time to look for names to fight.

Per Nielsen, #GolovkinGeale averaged 984k viewers (less than 3 rds though) on HBO for live airing. 1.048M peak. 8th most viewed fight of '14

Much better. seems people tuned in, saw gaele wasn't all that, and turned the channel.

Same thing happened to Wlad on ESPN.

Fans are sending a message. Are they hearing it in Europe?

The Geale win has made a lot of new fans for 3G. That was amazing to watch, the replay could be put to music. He'll sell better the next time, he has sideshow power. The problem is the 160 pool, who's next, but he has a growing reputation.

8th most viewed fight of 2014, what a disaster.

People on here love comparing apples and oranges.

160 is an awful division ive said it for a long time. Hes going to have to move up if he wants bigger numbers. Ward froch chavez jr all can pull more fighting no one. It has nothing to do with him not being american. It has to do with his quality of opponents.

[Fetta]

Hes 32, making peanuts in boxing purses. Ask for the million, take the big fight, and build from there. Soliman wont help you get there.

Golovkin/Stevens averaged 1.4 million.

Golovkin/Macklin averaged 1.1 million.

Golovkin/Rosado did 800k.

Those are his only 3 relevant fights on HBO.

Couldn't find any ratings for Ward's fights with Rodriguez or Froch.

Ward/Dawson did 1.3 million.

I already posted the number for Ward-Rodriguez on the first page I think it was.
