Boxing fans are ****ing idiots. That includes NSB, because I saw plenty of people who shouted about how they refused to watch this talking about watching and thing to the fight.

Don't b*tch next time a champ defends against some crap fighter from a lower division. Clearly you don't care.

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???

Like I said Before!!

I really, really hope that us as boxing fans did the right thing and not tune in to watch this fight live. If the boxing world (fans) did what we were suppose to do, then the t.v. ratings will be low.

If the ratings are high then we should stop complaining and expect more fights like these, because obviously it will let the world know that we will still tune in.


I did not watch this live.. And I'm a die hard boxing fan. I waited till the next day.

Shame on all the ******s that watched this. The arena was filled with nothing but idiots and casual fans

**** you all. Don't b*tch next time a champ goes for the 77th ranked fighter a division below.

I'm not surprised because I saw a lot of people here on NSB talk a big game and then change their minds the week of the fight. Figured it would show in the ratings that people didn't care how bad this was.

Exactly a lot of idiots on here like hansgrubler and bigrigg

Stop the *****!

Who the *** says 808 is good? GGG did 900 & barely maxed out on 1 million plus n got ****ted on. Don't be delusional going bonkers over this nonsense. Big ups to the people who got showtime & didn't watch or the people like me who refuse to subscribe.

There you go. These idiots don't care about mismatches. They'll die to please Haymon/Mayweather/Schaefer/TMT/anyone associated with TBDE. These are fake fans. These are just fans of particular personalities in this sport.

this is a perfect example of how boxing fans protest, they complain and tune in to do more complaining while watching what they complained about. this is why floyd laughs at haters, he knows they will all spend money to watch no matter how loud they complain.

[Deevel916]

More like 808k idiots. If you tuned in and participated in ratings for this farce then you gave up every right to complain about B.S matchups such as this one.

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.

Not sure which one is accurate

Per Neilsen, #GarciaSalka averaged 808,000 viewers on Saturday on @SHOsports. Better than I expected, but down 17% from #GarciaHerrera.
