Comments Thread For: Santa Cruz-Frampton Averages 480k Viewers on Showtime

[animelive]

This is the reality of boxing. People here think every boxer deserves 2 million for fights when they can't get more than 400k people to watch them. The entitlement of boxers these days is delusional.

These numbers are pretty low and a fight like this would have gotten close to 1 million viewers on Showtime a couple years ago. BUT this is a good sign that more people are tuning into Showtime fights and the ratings are going on an upward trend. They just need to keep putting on the good fights consistently.

I noticed the announcer kept saying Premier Boxing Champions and the ring said Premier Boxing Champions and Showtime.

.@leosantacruz2 landed 25% of his power shots & @RealCFrampton connected 46% that landed cleaner.

What makes it even worst is you can't just go to a bar or restaurant and watch HBO or Showtime Boxing matches. I have better luck catching a PPV fight when I travel then an HBO/Showtime (Especially Showtime) fight!! I get all kinds of crazy looks when I ask the bartender if they have HBO??? They think I want to hang out and watch movies lol. Game of Thrones has been shown at bars I heard???

I don't mind paying I just have a hard time finding the fights. I signed up for Hulu Showtime for laptop but streaming suks. Even paid streaming...I loved when Mares/Leo was on ESPN. And Thurman/Porter on CBS

Yeah I get the same crazy looks from bartenders as well, one even told me one time you do know this is a sports bar and I had to explain to him why I wanted him to put it on ShowTime lol.

LOL!!!! Sports bar my @ss and doesn't even realize boxing is on HBO/Showtime. They look at us like some poor FK who wants to watch it for free. I went to a packed bar awhile back and the chick bartender gave me a dirty @ss look when I asked if they had HBO.
