The ratings were obviously greatly helped by having someone like Donaire on the undercard.

So you think Donaire had nothing to do with the ratings?

Donaire's fight pulled just over half the ratings of the headliner.

EDIT: wtf is the difference with first viewing numbers and the second lot of numbers *scratching head*

Nonito Donaire is a very high profile name in the sport of boxing. To suggest he had nothing to do with the ratings is quite delusional.

When Donaire headlined on HBO, the ratings were usually weak.

Kevin Iole said it was 1.3M peak. Jakebert says 1.3M average. What's the right number?

Kevin and I are both saying the same thing.

The 908,000 households average is just that - the average number of households who tuned in to watch the fight.

The 1.3 million is the combined average of live audience + peak. This number is most often cited in Nielsen Ratings lists.

1.323 million was the absolute peak, not average but the highest number of viewers who tuned in at any point in the broadcast.

I wouldn't say Donaire specifically, as the fight itself being viewed as a 50/50 fight. It definitely helped and was a strong lead-in. If Donaire was in a similarly lopsided fight (if there is such a thing), then I don't believe it has the same impact. Just an opinion, of course.

Yeah maybe when he's headlining alone with no undercard. Golovkin's last fight bombed in the ratings.

Put them together and you get a good number.
