Comments Thread For: Brook vs. Porter Fails To Register With Home Viewers

[JakeNDaBox]

Shawn Porter’s debut as a headlining act on Showtime’s flagship boxing series—SHOWTIME® CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING—proved disastrous at every turn.

The American welterweight suffered his first career loss, losing his alphabet title to England’s Kell Brook in their August 19 main event at StubHub Center in Carson, California. Adding insult to injury, interest surrounding the event was marginal, with the Showtime-televised tripleheader registering an average of 514,000 viewers over the course of the evening, according to Nielsen Media Research.

I figured this would be the number for the danny/salka fight.

Fans know and like Danny and watched. Fans don't really know Porter and didn't know Brook.

You would think the better fights would have more viewers.

Maybe bika and Direll made viewers switch off

Lol Danny vs Salka blew this out the box! Keeping his name in your mouths really helped him sell that bs fight/assault. And Porter goes back to opening up triple headers after this. Can't slay Brook too much, he's from England and it was his debut on the network. Nobody gives a **** about Shawn Porter. Poor guy......

It didn't help that's for sure

The truth is porter and brook both are not well known. Porter doesn't have a fan base and brook is a foreign fighter. Danny garcia is a well known fighter. Even to casual fans. Hes known as the guy that koed khan lol. Khan is very well known bcoz of his olympic accolade and pro career.

Guys on here didn't even know Kell, casual fans won't have known either of them.

Dirrell-Bika won't have helped either.
