Broner vs Taylor averaged 852k viewers. Show averaged just above 700k

Is 825k actually good numbers?

it depends...golovkin-geale averaged higher than that and some people here considered it a failure.

No actually they are terrible. Showtime and HBO's numbers have been dismal for a couple years now except for a few events.

The viewers are dropping for both of them.

Exactly. At 1 time, getting in the 1.2-1.5 million range was considered just OK. Now anything approaching or over a million gets treated like it is a giant success.

[sicko]

still good numbers, higher than some of their previous events

Overall though, boxing seems to be losing fans at a rapid pace, Pacquiao vs Mayweather is desperately needed for the good of the sport

only one major network then and all the big stars were there.

Now there is competition and SHO is in 8-9 million fewer homes than HBO. The deflated numbers could just be a reflection of that.
