    Comments Thread For: Kovalev-Hopkins A Smash Hit With Home Viewers

    Sergey Kovalev has been a consistently solid draw for HBO Boxing in 2014. Bernard Hopkins has always served as a ratings magnet for the network.

    Naturally, their three-belt light heavyweight unification bout on November 8 in Atlantic City proved to be a smash hit with home viewers. A peak average of 1.328 million viewers tuned in for what became a tour-de-force performance by Kovalev, dropping the legendary Hopkins in the opening round en route to a dominant 12-round shutout to earn accolades as the best light heavyweight on the planet.

    The telecast peaked at 1.397 home viewers. Both numbers are good for the second highest rated bout of 2014. [Click Here To Read More]

          a first ballot HOF vs. a p4p top ten fighter in a title unification match at 175 pounds does lower ratings than a silver spooned pothead against Bryan Vera. SMH.

                      Good numbers and massive respect to Hopkins for his candour in defeat. I saw a side of that guy I didnt think existed and he showed the sport in a great light. Boxing was the real winner on Saturday.

                              Respect to both fighters. I am very glad that they did good numbers, because it means - no more excuses for some ******* ducking KOvalev.

                                  I actually thought they would capture most views of 2014. Hopkins always does well and Kovalev is gaining in popularity.

                                  It still came very close though. It is always good to see views at least hitting the 7 digit area. The year is closing out fairly good compared to the bad ratings Summer.

                                      really is crazy that a free fight with 2 great champions a really big fight hardly does better then mayweather on ppv. Im not trying to make this a mayweather thread i just think thats crazy and i dont get it unless hes really getting that many casual fans
