Ward on BET gets 325K viewers

[Larry the boss]

Thats the best ratings for BET since 1994. Thats amazing. Good job Ward!

Exactly,BET is a dead channel

[icha]

What a total bust. Ward on BET scored 325 thousand viewers with a 0.09 demographic rating to finish in 71st place in Saturday's cable ratings list. Yes, that's right... 71st PLACE! That's downright embarrassing and worse ratings than even Lara got on Spike!

The Lemieux fight doesn't even appear on the top 100 list at all. I have no idea what their rating was.

we all know ward is no draw, what is the point?

[DoktorSleepless]

Looking at the ratings for the past few weekends, BET never makes the TOP 100 on Saturdays.

Man no one even watches BET anymore,all they show is Martin re-runs

You are making a lot of excuses, BET had its highest ratings last year

The problem aint BET, the problem is Andre Ward and his marketability. They had a lot of celeb endorsements and radio interviews in the lead up to this fight

Ward was on The View and Sway in the Morning, etc.

you guys go so far out of the way to let us know how embarassed ward made you when he outclassed carl froch

as if you care at all about american TV ratings.

BET, a network you've probably never heard of, is "black entertainment television."

it's a niche network. i didn't even ahve BET on my regular cable package until recently.


my only concern is that these shows aren't sustainable for rocnation. i don't care how much money they've got. they can't sustain gigantic losses liek that.

thy're taking a long term outlook on ward. they want him happy now, so that he wont' jump ship when golvokin and kovalev are potential PPV fights.


tjhe PPV landscape is going to shift dramatically when floyd retires. i can't say that ward will fill the void. i'd be shocked if he's a 10th of the star. still, a tenth of nine figures, which is what floyd allegedly earned to fight pacquiao, is a life changing amount of money, and worth the investment for rocnation.

That's not what's going on here, this is a Golovkin fan who has nightmares about Ward fighting him, and spends a ridiculous amount of time trying to play Andre Ward off as irrelevant and terrible and someone who should retire.

I'm almost convinced at this point it's a Golovkin hater trying to make Golovkin fans look bad.

Pretty good for a shit network.

They showed a Fresh Prince marathon this weekend. That was cool.

[Luiz]

Ward should reconsider the trip to Nottingham.

[Easy Work.]

TS talks about Ward more than his fans.

[daggum]

why would roc nation give a guy who can't draw a 2 million dollar guarantee per fight? this is the same reason ward couldn't get any fights on hbo before. if they are paying ward 2 mill there is no money left for good opponents. ward knew this and didn't care. he refuses to travel when he's clearly the b-side. the greedy son of a b-itch wanted to fight bum opponents in oakland forever.
