Comments Thread For: Where Was the Protest? Garcia-Salka Draws 808k Viewers

Everybody on this forum has a point, since all the street violence has restricted night life, drunks with cars and guns, there isn't a lot to do on Saturday nights. Lots of casual fans....and Puerto Ricans. That is a big boxing market, needed to get over rough times like these. Lousy fight, great audience. Boxing will survive.

More views than ggg. People love the champ

I just realized that pic from the fight you have in your sig makes it look like Salka is doing the Dave Chapelle Harlem shake :

Comparing Kovalev-Caparello to Garcia-Salka..... is just........ not comparable.


I know you know it.

stop it dude. they were both mismatches. you know it. stop hiding behind caparello's WBO/IBA ranking to give it a pass.

if mismatches hurt the sport-fine I agree. If only showtime mismatches hurt the sport-than we both know what the deal is.

How do you know if you have a Nieslon box? Is it something that's randomly installed in your cablebox or is it a specific cable box?


I don't know much about it

I knew a guy who had one back in like 2007. Neilson came to his place and asked him if he would do it. They even pay you (not much, it's like $150 every few months or something). It was just some tiny little box that recorded the data of everything he watched and when he watched it.

To the casuals Herrera and Salka were both unknowns. It shouldn't be surprising that Salka did similar numbers to Herrera.

This is why we get crappy fights, because Showtime and Hbo knows boxing fans will accept anything on normal TV.
PPV is a different story.

And by the way if 800K viewers is good for boxing then the sport is dead.

Radioraheem is spot on. Don figure this out Tyson, Arum with ODH/Manny and now Al with Floyd. ODH will do this with Canelo and ARum with JCC j. if he stays. Hell-HBO is using this model with GGG

What model are you talking about exactly? Danny KO'd a guy 3 divisions below the where the fight took place, as was ranked 77th. GGG KO'd his guy in the 2nd round as well (maybe 3rd?) but he was not only in his own division, but was also ranked at #2 according to ******. These guys are nothing alike, one is a farce and ther other is a legit talent.
