See I knew that once Showtime started putting out fights ont he regular, their viewership would gradually rise. I hope the Molina vs Provodnikov and Andrade vs Nelson card does the best numbers yet

Andrade vs Nelson is a slept on fight. That's the fight I'm looking forward to.

Wait 491K viewers is supposed to be a success? All this means is this is slightly better then the huge drop off Showtime has seen in 2016. But this is still about half of what they were doing a year and a half ago. But these are still bad ratings. GGG did 3X that with a 1.35m viewers for his fight with Wade. HBO Boxing after Dark fights get double these ratings. And 2 years ago Showtime was neck and neck with HBO now they draw ratings 1/3 of HBO and no Showtime fights even crack 500k viewers.

Tonight on MYTHBUSTERS : THE GGG HOAX!

All the best from 154-168 ready to take risks and challenge himself willing to make sacrifices to dare to be great , really?!? GGG a mega-super star who has earned the right to dictate terms to fighters like Mayweather, CANELO, WARD, Lara Ramirez & others , really?!?

THE GGG HOAX EXPOSED : EPSODE 1

Let's see GGG didn't want to fight Lara because he said that Lara was unknown and doesn't sell PPV's and GGG fans supported that statement as well.

Let's look at the numbers(numbers don't lie)

Lara sold 300K PPV units

GGG sold 150K PPV units(3rd worst ever in the history of boxing)

Easy math , LARA sold double the amount of PPV' units that GGG sold.

So GGG saying Lara don't sell PPV's and is unknown is a MYTH

GGG & his fans will come up with an excuse every time it's Golovkin's time to man up! Golovkin talks more trash then Adrien Broner but he doesn't have to back it up? Wtf?!

When will GGG be held accountable for his actions?!?
He is a 34 year old with the resume of a prospect . He has only himself to blame , the big fights were their , he chose not to take them. GGG & his fans are ok with being mediocre, you get no bragging rights if you're mediocre.
This is Boxing: NO RISK NO REWARD - NO GUTS NO GLORY - TO BE THE MAN YOU GOT TO BEAT THE MAN!

If I were to describe Golovkin's career so far in a few words : TEN POUNDS OF $H1T IN A FIVE POUND BAG!

491k is their second highest of the year? Holy fuck.

Saying this is the second highest rating of the year is like saying you are the second tallest midget. The bar has been set so low nothing to celebrate here, the entire boxing card did only 400k viewers and the main event didn't even crack 500k.

[CaneloMaidana]

Not bad, especially given how ShowTime boxing has been doing.



So this number doesn't include Canadian viewers?

USA only. No clue if he sells in Canada.

I said it before, all Lara have to do is keep wining even when being rob, he is turning into a poor man mini Mayweather, more people hate him than love him, and that's how he can become a rating attraction.

All this saying ZZZzzzzz Lara go back and watching because they want the guy to lose.

And look at the comments in this forum, some mention something about Gamboa or Luis Ortiz and get buried with a few comments, but Lara name is mention and get tons of comments, 90% haters but this hater will tune in to watch you lose.

Keep winning Lara, that's your only changes to keep those rating, you are not Mexican, Irish or British etc and you are not the next white hope. You following will be make out of haters.

Lemiuex got 50k on Fox Sports 2 before Golovkin fought him. Lara did 10 times the viewers.

Lemieux also had a belt...
