[JakeNDaBox]

HBO Boxing ended the first half of 2015 on a high note, with Timothy Bradley Jr. earning a unanimous decision in a strong performance—despite a chaotic ending—versus previously unbeaten Jessie Vargas. The June 27 doubleheader at the StubHub Center in Carson, Calif.—whose live ring action began and ended with controversy—played well on the screen and with fans as home.

The main event drew 1.121 million viewers, peaking at 1.228 million viewers. Both numbers surpass Bradley’s last HBO-televised appearance, when he was held to a 12-round draw versus Diego Chaves last December. [Click Here To Read More]

Great ratings. Glad to see fans gave Bradley a chance. Hopefully this gets him better fights.

Good solid ratings, I expected it to be much lower. When there is only one boxing event it is much much better than having 3 in one night, too much boxing or saturation is not good for the sport!

So that means that average number of viewers for the program was about 1 million?

This is supposed to be "great"?
