910,000 average viewers for Ward-Barrera card

[PKing]

How is this considered good for HBO Boxing?

2 hours of programming cost them over $2.2 million.

Reruns of old movies on a Saturday night pull in better averages across 2 hours. SMH

Showtime's high this year so far is what Deontay Wilder a month or 2 ago that drew only 500k for the main event and much lower for the entire block of fights. HBO doubled up Showtime. You got Jacobs vs Quillin doing 300k viewers. I think it's time you start making posts about why Showtime has lost more then half their viewers in just 1 years time then worrying about HBO.

1.064M average + 756k undercard = 1.82 million divided by 2 = 910k average

How does HBO make its money? Through subscribers? I think they have a budget in mind, with regards to retaining fans of boxing, so so long as they don't go over that amount the low numbers shouldn't cost them.

What would cost them is an insufficient amount of subscribers which would relate to their entire package.

That said, I'm not sure how they earn their money. I just always assumed that it was different to other stations which made their money through selling time slots for advertisement.

They compile the average viewership for that time slot on a daily and every Saturday for months/years.

Then they compare it to the programming (Ward-Barrera).

If 400k avg. will tune in at all times for everything during that timeslot, the real viewung figure is 910k - 400k = 510k

510k X average cost of subscription = total revenue from boxing
