Comments Thread For: Lara-Martirosyan II Leads Second-Most Watched '16 SHO Telecast

LOL these are ****ty numbers.

[sicko]

I enjoyed the card regardless of the ratings, Jermall vs Trout should've been the Main Event though.

Lara vs Vanes really wasn't that bad, Vanes give a great effort considering the style he was fighting against. Vanes and Trout probably earned more fans that The Charlo Brothers and Lara did because of their efforts. I was more impressed with Austin Trout than I was with Jermall Charlo even in a "Losing Effort" I thought a Draw would've been FAIR

It doesn't look like a great Number as far as ratings goes but considering the major difference between Showtime and HBO as far as subscribers you have to look at Showtime ratings a little different because they're not working with the same amount of Subscribers AT ALL

This is the sad truth with Showtime. Their boxing ratings have been god awful. I've never seen a networks boxing ratings plummet so quickly in just a two year span. Showtime was holding their own with HBO for a while and sometimes would even come out on top on head to head cards.

Yes the current situation at Showtime is bleak, but we've known that for over a year. The ratings seem to be trending in the right direction. They are higher than the Jack/Bute and DeGale/Medina card and I doubt that's because Lara is such a huge draw.

Nah it wasn't PPV, surely ?

I think that Golovkin is much more popular than Lara.

I just think it's a **** excuse not to fight him.

Didn't hear none of that rubbish from Canelo.

CANELO VS LARA
Yeah it was PPV I remember ordering it.

Aah right, didn't know you meant Lara/Canelo, true ^^

I bet most of those who accumulated that rating were GGG fans.

LOL, but they are moving in the right direction so hopefully when Joshua makes his debut & does some fights it'll move them up a lil faster.

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



So this number doesn't include Canadian viewers?

We don't get FX1,FX2,ESPN or Showtime in Canada. We have TSN which is a partner of ESPN and they used to show ESPN FNF on tape delay, never live. We have Sportsnet which sometimes simulcasts some FX1 cards but you never know for sure even if it is listed. We do get all the Spike/NBC/CBS PBC shows. It is very difficult to be a boxing fan in this country, for some reason the sports channels think everyone wants to watch poker?

The WBC just said Jermell has to fight two mandatories in a row for winning the vacant title. So he'll fight Hatley and the winner of Andrade vs. Nelson.

Ouch, bad news for Jermell but great news for us. Jermell is really pulling most of the load in comparison to Jermall.

Don't worry, Jermall is mandated to fight Julian Williams next
