I didn't even know about the HBO card. Stumbled across it by accident while switching channels on Sat night.

Numbers haven't been this low since ANY Rigo fight

From what I remember the numbers were also pretty low for Walters' last fight vs. Marriaga on HBO BAD.

it's a shame because it was a good card. hopefully it doesn't discourage them from putting on more like it

hoping that the showtime card on 16th january does good numbers

A lot of the HBO vs PBC talk earlier in the thread goes way over my head.
I could never imagine taking sides in a Hearn vs Warren, SKY vs Boxnation argument that runs on forever.
It must be the silliest rivalry on here, yet is a major theme running through NBS, which has a set of dedicated posters who take it very seriously

Solid Debut For Ortiz

While the numbers weren't extraordinary, these were still solid numbers for Ortiz. Very few people knew who Luis Ortiz was unless you are a hardcore boxing fan.

This was a benchmark. I would like to see who he fights next because I bet his number will rise dramatically. He put on a hell of a performance on Saturday and gained a lot of fans. That was probably the most dominate performance by a heavyweight the entire year.

I look forward to seeing him more. HBO will hopefully advertise him a lot more next year especially since they are looking for a fan friendly dominate heavyweight.

All this pbc vs hbo is hilarious, isn't there anyone around here who just enjoys all the easy access to these fights? there is so much more boxing available to watch what fan can criticize the fact that we went from ESPN FNF, to shows on FS1,ESPN,Spike,NBC, NBCSN, FOX starting in January? I don't know what else I missed, I even like to watch the CBSSN cards and TruTv as well as the Showtime fights and HBO and if I can on a Saturday afternoon I will watch the British shows, all good. I don't care about the ratings, I was at the Turning Stone last Saturday, if anyone else on here was there, they will agree the card was stacked, there were no delays between bouts, and after that heavyweight clash the whole event center and Casino was buzzing. Great place to visit to see some live action. 5 hour drive from Toronto.
