Don't be silly. Sho has like 30% fewer subscribers

As of last count (July 2015), HBO was in 36.483M homes and SHO was in 28.693M homes.

Showtime did what they normally do. HBO numbers dipped drastically. I see people blaming Lomachenko's numbers on going head to head with Showtime but the numbers don't suggest that. It looks like Showtime didn't really pick up a significant number of viewers while HBO lost a significant number. Am I wrong? Am I missing something?

you guys have it all wrong, it is not a Loma problem, a Pac problem, etc.

It is a new age, where many people stream a sport that is the laughing stock of all sports at this time.

If we had great fights each 2 weeks instead of ****** fights where everyone knows the outcome in advance, maybe the sports can be saved and we would again start watching on tv.

I am streaming only nowadays just because there are no fights that are competitive.

The Crawford- Postol i will buy with my fingers crossed expecting a good fight, without a strange headbutt, strange stoppage of some kind, without the sky falling in hte middle of the ring. Yes, that is how i feel, i have been robbed for so long that i don't feel this is a sport anymore, more like a convention of F a g divas who think they deserve something without earning it first.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

lmfao no one wanted to watch andrade every tuned in when the figth was over lmfao.

[Redd Foxx]

Ug, that's sad. Both seem to be struggling with boxing so, what do they do, compete! Great way to ensure failure.

[MC Hammer]

No star on the level of mayweather means less viewership for the sport. This is the new norm until a true star presents themselves. The sports needs a polemical guy who seems invincible to take over. No one in sight for now

u're such a fan boy that you want to see walters have to sit out just bc he didnt take short money to fight a guy with more losses than him and less tv rratings than him...you are a coward.

I don't want Walters to sit out. I know Loma-Walters is a big fight, so why would I want Walters to become irrelevant? I want Walters to comeback so the fight can stay relevant, even though a lot of people are already losing interest.
I just pointed out a reality. We don't know when Walters will be back. He doesn't have a date scheduled and HBO doesn't have that many dates available. Loma delivered in his last fight and I think HBO will want him more often. Loma also has more opponents available out of anyone that fights on HBO. Loma can fight the top guys at 126 and 130, which are two loaded divisions. Loma has a lot of options.

Also, why call me a coward? What did I say that made you call me a coward. Please explain.

let me tell u wat you are..PREDICTABLE...
months ago i told you that you never wanted to see the fight..all u wanted to do was see lomo have a better career

your last 2 to 3 paragraphs proves it.
you didnt think lomo would win..u just needed walters career to be stalled so u could shift the blame..

u are so basic

Of course I want to see the fight. I can't wait to see Loma beat Walters and see what you do since you only like undefeated fighters by the way you talk. My question would be: Would you still be a Walters fan after Loma is done with him?

You think I dislike Walters or something? I don't.
You on the other hand hate Loma and you talk crap about him when ever you get the chance. I'm not going to hate a fighter, because he has annoying fans. That's part of the game. Every fighter has annoying fans.
I don't want Walters to have a bad career. Why would I? If Walters has a terrible career that does nothing for me.
I just like exposing Walters fans/Loma haters, but I don't dislike Walters at all. I like watching him and I already told you that before.
