You mean Kovalev. GGG did less than this.



The hypocrisy in this post is astounding. you do the same for hbo/arum/many. yet don't call yourself a fake fan. geez.

Dunn, GGG didn't do worse according to Dan Rafael:

Here are the average viewership figures for all five of his Golovkin's HBO fights, in chronological order:

• Gregorz Proksa (Sept. 1, 2012): 685,000

• Gabriel Rosado (Jan. 19, 2013): 813,000

• Matthew Macklin (June 29, 2013): 1.1 million

• Stevens (Nov. 2, 2013): 1.41 million

• Geale (July 26, 2014): 984,000

How you gone get mad at folks for watching what they wanna watch on the TV that they pay for? Personally, I didn't watch. But that's only because I watched the Titans preseason opener. If that hadn't been on, hell yeah I would have watched the fights. The only reason i have HBO and Showtime is for boxing. Exactly who are you to tell people WTF to do with their money???

I'm talking about the legions of "angry fans" who swore they wouldn't watch and were shouting how anyone who did was an awful fan, only to end up watching themselves.

If you wanted to watch all along, fine. But everyone who spent a month complaining and then went ahead and watched anyway better not say a damn word next time they hate whatever mismatch is being thrown our way.

ok thanks. I thought GGG did less. thanks for the correction. I was thinking the crawford fight numbers. guess I was too busy "hating on GGG". gotta hate better next time.

Im a boxing so hell yeah i watched it and enjoyed the card. Ali v Bryan fight was pretty good.

Also saw that night that some of those screaming "Protest" were on here complaining about fight. So stop the posturing and name calling and just admit you watched it

Hbo has a lot more subscribers than Showtime.

Espinoza and Haymon will be encouraged to make many more mismatches now. God help this sport.

[DoktorSleepless]

If my math is right, 808k on Showtime is the equivalent of 1,050,000 on HBO.
