no it's not. Most replays get at least 1 million viewers on HBO. Showtime's viewers are down overall across the board.

Canelo Cotto did 900k viewers in the replay for a fight that did over 2x the ppvs as manny. And I showed you already what floyd berto did. And this fight did more then any showtime boxing content has done in a year

Those are really good for a replay of a fight. Almost 3X what Showtime got for new fights with Russell. And for comparison the replay for Floyd vs Berto PPV did only 587k viewers. I think the highest rating for any Showtime card this year was Wilder's championship fight which only did 500k viewers.

Golovkin vs Lemiuex got a million. It's bad actually.

Pac fans comparing a fight against a P4P fighter to Mayweather fighting a mismatch.

ESPN’s Dan Rafael reports the ratings from Saturday night’s HBO event featuring Terrence Crawford. Which drew an average subscriber audience of 1.07M viewers also included the GGG-David Lemieux PPV replay.
The overall event on HBO Saturday night from 9:30 to approximately midnight ET (first showing) peaked at 1.2M viewers. The replay of GGG-Lemieux drew 797,000 subscribers with a peak of slightly over 1M viewers. The Roman Gonzalez-Brian Viloria replay drew 505,000 viewers peaking at 685,000.

Showtime always has less numbers for boxing events, HBO has more boxing fan subscribers. We all know this, but you want to compare Pacquiao fighting a P4P fighter on HBO to Mayweather fighting a bum on Showtime?

750k viewers with no new boxing programming to accompany it like GGG had. Plus given how few ordered GGG PPV(100k buys or less depending on the source) they likely watched that fight for the first time.

Showtime as early as a year and a half ago were drawing almost neck and neck in boxing ratings. This is the first time in a long time you see HBO basically triple and quadruple the ratings as showtime. Despite the fact that the differnence is overall subscriptions remains the same. And Manny fought a guy he already beat convincingly twice and likely did less ppvs then Floyd did with berto.

There is more going on with the downfall of showtime boxing ratings then just subscribers just last year wilder did 1.2m viewers on showtime now this year he did just 500k.

Slightly more with Crawford fighting in the main event. This replay had no main event fight to boost ratings.
