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

500k x $20 subscription = $10,000,000

Doesn't work that way...just because someone watched a boxing match doesn't mean they paid their monthly fee just for that...a bunch of people have HBO for Game of Thrones but they might watching boxing too. In any event, neither GGG nor his promoter (nor HBO boxing, for that matter) gets to see any of that money.

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.

true but i think that had more to do with showtime boxing going away now that they have a steady schedule i expect boxing fans to re subscribe to showtine

We, boxing fans, over estimate how popular the sport is. The sport really isn't that popular. Ask the average person to name 5 boxers and they'll say Holyfield, Forman grill, Mayweather, Pacquiao, and Tyson. Ask them who is the heavyweight champion of the world and they'll say "that Russian guy".
