Comments Thread For: Crawford-Beltran: Boxing WAY After Dark Sees Ratings Dip

[Fetta]

Think many fell asleep during pac/algeri.

Crawford looked good. West Coast so wasn't too late for me but was pretty late

I've been complaining to my GF about the times of fights lately, it's just ridiculous. Cards seem to be getting later and later, and if it's a crap undercard it really deters me from staying up for the main event.

If they ever reshow a fight from the week pryor again, please do it at 9:00 and not 10:00. People don't feel like waiting til midnight to watch a main event.

fight started wwaaayyyy too late imo the casuals probably didn't wanna stay up so late watching boxing. Also, velez lost that fight FTW

[JJRod]

This has been a problem for a while. These damn boxing cards that start way past normal sports times. Who in their right mind will stay up to midnight to watch a boxing fight? If people Are up they're usually out partying. The folks staying at home are asleep.

Yeah, this fight card DRAGGED on. You had a 12 rd PPV replay being played first (who the f**k thought that would be a good idea?), and then the LIVE cards also going 12rds, going well past 1am. I was like, wtf is this *****!?

I go to a buddies house for these fights and I have to leave his place at nearly 2am because of HBO fights? Wtf! This ain't no club.

Honestly I think the ratings dipped obviously because it was getting real late and the fights were dragging on and people got restless. I sure as hell did and I was looking forward to this card for a few weeks.

The Manny vs Algeri fight should have went on last.

this



not gonna lie tho, i was also watching the Bama game mostly

[MrRolltide91]

The fight came on too late

[Foreign Soil]

Agree with people saying the recorded fight should've been shown later or not at all. People who really wanted to watch the Pacquiao fight have already seen it, that sort of thing serves little purpose in today's world of technology. But also, let's not pretend that Beltran was an interesting opponent. The only thing interesting about the main event was how badly Crawford would beat him.
