1.325M is correct. It appears that Showbuzz Daily does not report segments that last less than 10 minutes and I confused the post fight segment with the actual fight.

Sports TV ratings is reporting 1.325M. I apologize for the misinformation. Great rating for Golovkin.

They literally want to count the 6 minutes? That's peak not average.

Good numbers. Now let's hope more viewers on hbo increases their budget and there is more money for great fights like walters/Loma.

Good numbers. A little bit better than Ward or Crawford, but at the gate Golovkin is the ****. 3 million dollar live gate is quite good. Ward can't even draw half the people if they give tickets away for free at the church or supermarket, so there can't be any debate about who is the bigger draw...

Where did you see that Golovkin-Wade did $3m at the gate (mind you, for a fight that wasn't hosted by a casino)?

Lol at the number crunchers going nuts trying to explain why 1.3 for paid subscribers isn't as good as Spence on national tv basically doing the same. These cats are furious right now.

A-Side confirmed. Ward and his team look like absolute fools trying to ask for a 50/50 split now.

Btw Higher ratings AND higher attendance numbers for GGG.

GGG-Wade attendance: 16,353

Ward-Barrera attendance: 8,532

Now you know who is who.

How much money did Golovkin draw on his 16,500 versus how much money did Ward draw on his 8,500?

With the TV ratings basically being the same, and Ward's profile in the sport ****ting on Golovkin's profile in the sport, the split was just fine.

It didn't. That's an insane number. Brooklyn cards that do 10k do 600k.

Sports TV has the same peak ratings showing for Ward vs Barrera as ShowBuzzDaily.

Something is funky with these numbers.
