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

[bigdunny1]

So what? Is that what boxing is all about nowadays ... who gets the most viewers on US TV?

You and your ggg fanboys spent months bashing ward saying he's not a big enough name and not on ggg level yet you cry when people point out the same in regards to canelo compared to ggg. When the truth is the numbers say ggg and ward are about as similar as you can get while the difference between canelo and ggg is massive. Listen GGG and his fans were the first to scream A side to ward and after GGGs PPV flop and now Ward ratings the more it just exposes GGG for the fraud he is.

The same people who saw the low numbers posted for TC's fight and the other HBO fights then talked about how good those numbers actually are (after "input excuse here) will turn arounnd and call this a flop because it involves ward.

[Larry the boss]

Don't act like you ain't part of them.

THIS would be hilarious.

Im not, i troll sometime for **** and giggles but i have nothing against GGG at all, just wish i could see him in with better comp before he gets old

wow this is pure ether

[Can'tHoldMeBack]

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?

You respond to ppl that post negative all the time about lil g and give passes to the guys that come in thread talking **** first

[MC Hammer]

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.

I think you're nostalgic for a time that never existed. The drama has always been an aspect of the sport and has always added to fights.

Ward's last fight was on BET not HBO so you really can't count that, for a fair assessment of his drawing power his last HBO fight did 1.2mil viewers against Edwin Rodriguez in 2013 and 1.3mil the fight before against Chad Dawson. His ratings are very much in line with what GGG is avg on HBO.

No, They're very much not in line..

GGG's fight before the PPV against Monroe did 1.338 M viewers with a 1.474 M peak. That's significantly more than 1.064M and a 1.152M peak. That was against an opponent that many on this site feel is inferior to Barrera. I won't even shame you by bringing up the attendance numbers, especially considering both fighters have similar ticket prices of their fights lol.

Golovkin vs. Wade will also do significantly higher ratings, and will have a larger attendance number than Ward-Barrera.

[Teetotaler]

Why are people still bringing up Golovkin for? Ward moved up! Learn from him and move on yourselves. Kovalev is the guy Ward is fighting next. It's like you guys are so scared for him to fight kovalev you guys are fixated on him fighting a smaller guy.

Nobody cries about Canelo being A side to Ggg, shill. That's obvious. But it doesn't entitle him to a mando/unification at 155. If he can't go above 155, strip the phony champ, he can challenge when body ready
