Comments Thread For: HBO, Showtime Struggle In Ratings For Dueling June 11 Telecasts

[tiliheels]

This is why the purse split for Loma/Walters should've been 50/50. They draw the same.

very respectable comment..
there was never means for lomo to act the way he did in negotiations..or bob or hbo or whoever acted that way like he was big ****

Showtimes ratings are not good either but they are about consistent to what they have fallen off to. Their entire card did around 300 something thousand viewers. Terrible but 300-400k is what they been doing for about a year now. The real story is HBO paid Loma a lot of money to headline a card and it flopped. And you got Bob Arum saying HBO needs to pay more money for him and how he is this big superstar. Sorry no he isn't. And especially after the ratings Vargas and Salido.

Where are your getting 300-400 from?

The Showtime Championship Boxing event saw a significant upset in the main event. as John Molina boxed his way to a 12-round unanimous decision victory over Ruslan Provodnikov. The headlining act - which served as Provodnikov's network debut after having appeared several times on rival HBO - averaged 465,000 viewers, topping out at a peak audience of 568,000 viewers.

no no no no..
u get on your knees and apologize to everyone here....everyone who asked for even money to see walters vs lomo..u apologize to us all you son of b1tch..ok that was a bit harsh, but i just mean i boxing fan joke, but seriously man say you are sorry you man just got exposed a good fighter that is not popular just like walters

walter did a better average vs marriage. walters was off 8 months prior to the fight..it was on a pr holiday just like lomo's fight..and walters was not fighting a PRincan.

now can we please just admit it finally walters is a threat and so is lomo..neither man is neither man's A side..

i know u will birng up lomo's title now, but that was the plan..price yourself out, try to prove you are a draw, then have everyone turn on walters bc he not a champ and under promoted by bob.


this is total justification for you to come out as a fan of boxing and not just a fan of lomo

No it was actually 30k lower

lomo vs waltes..flip a coin for who is tops on the billing..make it a 50-50 fight..

if lomo didnt have his little easy belt walters would have a case for a little more money than lomo tbh

but for 50-50 they need to do it...both men's legacy will be missing a huge piece if this fight does not happen

i personally wouldnt have minded if walters fought for low money, but the fact he got ripped for turning it down had me irate

lomo and amir khan are the fakest A sides in boxing now if this continues to be the case with lomo..

hell even rigo did higher numbers lol

No it was actually 30k lower

i saw walkers at 588k and lomo at 585k...

so yes lomo was a bit lower
and in aprior comment i said walters has a case for more money, but since lomo has fans on his from the start with that crazy offer..walters shouldnt bother exercising bc the fans faith has shown where it lies, even when the facts are not their to back it up

lomo's team ought to feel ashamed of themselves for not making that fight properly..the best man will win..we deserve these fights..

That was Boxing After Dark. Those numbers are always lower than HBO Championship Boxing. Lomachenko numbers are worse because he was on HBO Championship Boxing. His numbers would be considered horrible if they were Boxing After Dark

It's obvious they don't want to fight Walters.

They couldn't to run away when Walters missed weight.

ok fine..rigo is a cuban not even supposed to be in the country..and only gods know who hbo put him in with to shame him...they put lomo in with a pr in pr day parade man..and he still failed...come on man..but you ar eright i didnt look rigo up..bc rigo is at 122 and i dont see the fight happening..asking him to move up to 126 off a political BS lay off is easy picking for lomo if he is ten lbs heavier..

and both teams said weight was no issue.. no cw was need only lomo could be at 135 rehydration..that is still 10lbs bigger than rigo would be...if rigo was active i would like the fight more, but boxing screwed him
