    You can make ****** excuses or look at HBO'S reality.

    Original programming... WAY up

    Boxing... WAY down

      Do you post about anything other than HBO's demise?

        Just saying to consider context and not base your decision off of one fight's numbers.

          The Crawford card averaged less than 920k.

          Kovalev card averaged 940k flat.

            PBC was getting too much crap for their ratings. Another poster was created to return the favor to HBO it appears.

                Comparing fights on NBC with a possible reach of 200 Millon homes to HBO and Showtime with 30 million or less?

                Pbc ,HBO,Showtime, all doing garbage ratings...

                UFC doing 2.5 million on spike for garbage Kimbo Slice fight, that's impressive.

                Boxing is for hardcores...

                  HBO will axe boxing in favor of new original series.

                  It is unavoidable.

                    exactly. i am surprised that they even did this well especially with a late replacement in the main event. GGG will get 2 spots on hbo and kovalev will be back plus crawford will get a better opponent. they will average over 1 mil plus canelo's deal calls for one regular hbo fight a year and i bet that is his december fight
