Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Wade Registers As Most-Watched Cable TV Fight of 2016

[Shadoww702]

What this shows is that Showtime and PBC ratings are literally in the toilet. Each NBC card sets new alltime lows for PBC and Showtime boxing is getting beat out in ratings to reruns of The Fight Game. They are producing about 25-50% of the ratings for boxing content compared to what they were doing just 1 and half years ago. When you lose over 50% of your viewers in 1 year there is wayyyyyyyyy more going on then there was another sporting event on that night LMAO

Who can keep up with PBC schedule? The on too many channels. I'm a huge boxing fan and I have no clue what the hell their doing over there. They have the WORST business plan I've ever seen. Heck when Algieri and Spence fought I had to look up what station they were fighting on. They act like theyre run by circus clowns.

Yeah I just saw another source and the numbers don't add up. If it really did 1.08 then that's a pretty big dip from the 1.3mil he did his last HBO live fight (Monroe). Not terrible for HBO but not great for the GGG hype machine. Not sure why boxingscene are lying about the numbers thou SMH

That sheet and the numbers boxing scene posts always match up. Kim might have lied and they followed him.

It's never said any of that in the past either but the numbers always added up. It's the same site always used on here. I think if anyone's wrong it's almost certainly boxingscene and Steve Kim, not the unbiased site that has one job.

I'm not accusing them of intentionally misrepresenting the numbers btw. It's far more likely that I'm missing some knowledge that would make the numbers make sense to me.

I would have chalked it off to a small error but there doesn't seem to be any row where P 18-49 = M 18-49 + F 18-49 as I would have thought.

This week is on Fox and Spike TV. Is it that hard?

Oh no. Steve Kim made up these numbers.

They are shares of the TV audience. The number at the end is total viewers.

DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary key advertiser demographics (adult 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 ratings), audience skews (women 18-49, men 18-49 and adults 50+ shares) and total viewership (thousands of people over the age of 2)

If the actual number is 1.09 then you have to wonder why GGG is able to get amazing attendance numbers but he doesn't really separate himself from the pack in terms of TV ratings.

Ahh I see, thanks for the clarification.

Hopefully the author of this article will offer an update about the numbers. If this article is indeed in error, it would be a pretty sizable error for 1.089 to be stated as 1.325 and to be sold as the biggest boxing broadcast on hbo this year. 1.089 is plausible and right in line with Ward-Barrera and Kov-Pascal II iirc.

Even 1.3 isn't great. Wlad got 1.7. Golovkin really speaks to LA Mexicans but in Texas he's nothing. In New York his appeal is over blown. Danny Garcia has done 12k before.

ShowBuzzDaily on top of keeping track of ratings of shows such as The Muppets, Dance Moms, and House Hunters also happen to be massive Andre Ward and Canelo Alvarez fans, and fudged the numbers in a grand conspiratorial scheme against Gennady Golovkin.

Yeah.

Let's run with that.
