HBO is failing to. They have 1 card till June and it's bum fights. Only casual fans watch that trash.

I think his point is that not casual or hardly any hardcore fans watch showtime

[Larry the boss]

HBO is killing showtime whos ratings been in the toilet for over a year now. Strong ratings for a replay fight. Floyd Berto replay did only 587k viewers on showtime for a comparison. Wilder championship fight earlier this year did only 500k. HBO Boxing After Dark fights get mote then that. How Espinoza still has a job with ratings like these is beyond me. Paying more then HBO for most these fights but gets 1/4th the ratings. LMAO

Network fans^^^^^

PBC might have been lucky that the UFC show ended early, just before Spence started.

Maybe so, but everything he has said is correct. It's sad but Showtime boxing is basically dead. I seriously don't understand how Espinoza still has a job, but it might be because of his connection with Haymon.

... that's not what the link actually says. the 8:30pm-9pm audience number for PBC was 1.26, not the full broadcast.

Boxing in America is dead. The whole concept of 'cracking America' for foreign fighters is done. You've got the likes of Radio Rahim, Michelle Phelps and Buffer passing over Pacquiao-Bradley 3 for Joshua.
