Not great but not bad. Golovkin has a ways to go still

GGG did what he had to do to a bum who did not belong in there with him. Nichola Walters was far more impressive IMO.

Thats a very good number...for boxing in 2014.

I'm pretty sure a couple Tyson HBO fights in the 80's got over 10M viewers. Maybe 20 actually.

Because he fought the far better opponent and steamrolled him, KOing him for the first time

If BHop vs Kovalev can't get at least 1.5m I'll be worried.

Not bad, i think its the highest rated fight this year

I helped a lot I kept switching back and forth between the fights and the game.

Same.

This makes me wonder why the hell no one watched Golovkin/Geale, which was a more competitive fight on paper.
