Cotto-Geale 3rd highest rated HBO

[bigjavi973]

Is that a shock? That is Miguel Cotto! When doesn't he draw good ratings when fighting on HBO? I know we have new fans who are In Love with GGG and I get that GGG is a good exciting fighter but Cotto is Cotto. He has his following and he is a draw on his own, he doesn't need GGG or Canelo, they both need him a lot more than he needs them. Like I posted in another thread, Cotto can fight me at Barclay or MSG and it would sell out and draw huge ratings because Cotto has a strong following still despite all of the this sudden HATE for him

This right here.
Cotto even had a packed house in Florida vs rodriguez FFS

So Canelo rated higher?

People thought PBC would crush HBO, and HBO has out out the best ratings it has in years since PBC has been rolled out.

And Showtime boxing is damn near dead.

More people watched Aron Martinez vs. Robert Guerrero Saturday afternoon.

I'm not really sure why you'd expect people to ignore HBO boxing when there is no PBC boxing on. Boxing fans will watch whatever fights are on.

Put up Thurman-Khan or Stevenson-Beterbiev on the same night HBO airs Cotto-Geale, and you'll see how bad HBO does. But HBO is too smart for that, they avoid every night PBC has primetime boxing airing, no matter the matchup. They don't want to be humiliated.
