Comments Thread For: Ward's Return To HBO Averages 1.064 Million Viewers

I understand how boxing works, but really I watch both fights and was not impressed.

Nobody cares too much who Ward faces unless Sergey next, he is just plain boring

1.1 million people obviously cared...

What's up with you dudes needing to praise one man and in order to do so need to bash another one? Can't just give Ward props without acting like bit-ches do?

Yea i dont get that either..they act like you have to bash one to praise the other

I think moving up in weight and challenging a decent fighter is basically what lead to this impressive showing. Ward/Smith only did 323k viewers. Ward/Barrera did almost the same numbers as Kov's matches with Pascal.

Hopefully for the fighters this means they can sell a decent number of PPVs against each other.

I think it was amazing going up against March Madness, Batman vs Superman and the night before Easter.

Your right, I forgot all about Batman vs Superman and the fact it was Easter weekend and a lot of people travel.

It's what's killing the sport more than anything. The number one casualty of 6/7 years of the build up for Floyd/Manny is a bunch of bit-ch made fans who need drama or feuds to enjoy the sport...worst result possible for a man's sport.

Ward-Smith wasn't on HBO that's why the numbers were so bad.

But considering Ward is american and GGG is kasachstan this are no good numbers for Ward. But im sure Ward vs. Kovalev makes mutch better numbers.
