I was expecting more with Roman Gonzalez as the co feature, and free HBO that week, plus Canelo Khan 24/7 (how much of a push can you get?). To be fair though he was competing with the UFC and NBA like Spence was but people didn't want to hear that when I said it about him, and it was his 1st main event.

Golovkin-Wade did 1.089M. Jake Donovan should source his "free-view" numbers as other sites that report Nielsen ratings don't seem to have this information.

Solid numbers, but Canelo still is more a draw than GGG. 2.146 mil last May.
it's non-debatable who is the superstar between the two.
Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez enjoyed a triumphant return to HBO in every conceivable way. The 24-year old former 154 lb. titlist registered what presently serves as the leading contender for Knockout of the Year after flattening James Kirkland in the third round of their May 9 meet at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas. The bout was Alvarez' first fight back on HBO following a nearly three-year hiatus. Absence truly made the heart grow fonder among HBO subscribers, as the live main event drew a staggering 2.146 million viewers, peaking at just under 2.3 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research. With the moster ratings pull, Alvarez-Kirkland becomes the most-watched cable fight of 2015, a mark established just two weeks ago with HBO's April 25 event topped by Wladimir Klitschko's 12-round win over Bryant Jennings. The May 9 event is also the best performing boxing event on cable TV since June '06, when an exclusive rebroadcast of Bernard Hopkins' career-resurrecting win over Antonio Tarver drew more than 2.4 million viewers. The Hopkins-Tarver replay accompanied a live broadcast of Jermain Taylor and Winky Wright fighting to a draw in their middleweight championship bout in Memphis.Comment
