Comments Thread For: Jack-Bute, DeGale-Medina: Ratings For Showtime Double

[Teetotaler]

Espinoza just said that last week when asked about Golovkin.

Cant blame them for being desperate haha. They just need a big name like kovalev or ggg. Golovkin had like a packed house at the forum and did 1.3 mil views against freaking wade. If jacobs knows whats good for him he'll get ko'd by ggg on hbo since the pbc run is almost over

Showtime just did 300k on sat and the Spike fight on PBC with Dirrell did 513K viewers on Fri. Combined only 800K viewers which is about 500K less then GGG's fight 2 weeks ago, 1.3m viewers, on HBO by itself.

Not sure what the point was of taking your fighters to PBC all it did was cripple Showtime ratings. Showtime cards were avg close to 1m viewers before PBC.

Im still waiting for the pbc queef boys to come to the rescue with the bs excuses haha theyll probably start off with "moonves said its good so its good"

If I was Anthony Joshua I would take a strong look at these numbers before choosing between HBO and Showtime.

Hopefully the ratings keep improving.

I wouldnt i'd look at the numbers by the $ sign and look at the network that looks interested in boxing tbh..degale and jack are champs but no one knows them..

those fights on hbo only does 600k..if yall dont see it yet..hbo is only putting on named fights..when it tried to air king kong alone...it flopped just as bad bro..

i agree im not going to hate on good boxing cards. I do feel like floydpac killed the sport. ppl finally got it and they went away. idc how the fight went or turned out. those ppl knew they were gone when it was over long ago.

I wouldn't really call Kovalev a big name. He has a respectable name atm

Im sure it wasnt their plan. they just have garnered tons of hate. anyone who defends it and says hey gusy its a year old and htey have made a lot of new champs seems to get blackballed and called names. it is very sad that we killed our own sport just for hbo who will let guys like javier fortuna, rances barthelemy go inactive...i'll miss pbc if it goes away..and im sure they did not intend to cripple showtime..race won this time..politics divided it all..this will be a story to tell forever in boxing.

W/Jack getting screwed by the w wbc judges (guess wbc & Sulaiman decided this was not important enuf 2 investigate, as no info 4 days past) this should garner more viewers vs DeGale...

Sulaiman did express being angry at the decision. Said something about looking into it. How that translates is anyone's guess.

Golovkin needs to go up and fight these guys so people will actually watch them fight lol

Agreed. Needs to happen. Looking forward to the next 6 months - 1 year. Lotta great fights are coming together.

Look at this gay network fanboy. What a f*ggot!
