If GGG fought on FOX & NBC he'd draw 4 million viewers

If the other champions would have fought him he would be drawing in that type of money.

Viewership... not money smh

Idk about 4 million, but he could get 3 million like the first 2 PBC cards did on NBC.

Oh... so you're saying it wouldn't be good for Golovkin to fight in front of 4 million viewers rather than less than 1.4 million viewers?

What would be the benefit of being watched by a few more million people who wouldn't recognize his name if he fought again? He's already selling out arenas. He's plateaued until he beats a big name fighter. People watch boxing on prime time for the same reason I watch golf on Sunday, it's on tv. Most people watching those fights don't care about boxing, just like I don't care about golf. If they did you'd see a migration of viewers to showtime boxing. The exact opposite has happened.

Oh... so you're saying that the smaller audience is better for GGG?

Like the 150k who watched him fight Lemieux? I get it

I asked you what the benefit is and you offered none. You can't articulate why he should leave HBO to fight on prime time TV.

Bigger audience? More name recognition?

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

what for boxing on network tv gets its views from sport lovers lack of other options, look what happens when boxing goes against any other sporting events it loses. People are over estimating network viewership it has no crossover effect in terms of numbers for a fighter, NO PBC fighter has ever gained in paid viewership from their network appearances in front of million.

So its all just anecdotal information.

Yeah you're right. 500k viewers on HBO is optimal

A bigger audience that doesn't care about boxing? These people won't even remember him once the fights over. It's already been pointed that these numbers on prime time don't translate into more viewers on cable. If they did wilder's last fight wouldn't have bombed. Your argument is very poor.
