So you're saying the network is to blame for the numbers?

It'd do much better numbers on Hbo no doubt. And of course the numbers are down across the board, Sho has just been hit worse. Their high this year is 500k for Wilder, that's shocking

I'll remember this the next time you bring up Lara's showtime numbers. Thanks.

Uh ok. Whatever platform he's on he's doing Fnf numbers. Hey you know Lemieux vs Rosado did much better than Lara vs A side PWill on Hbo, and 2x Lara's second best?

HBO didnt "turn down" Walters/Loma or Crawford/Postol on spec. They just weren't willing to pay what Bob was asking.........

Iv'e never seen them do that. And HBO has even stated they don't have the budget this year. So you can't blame all that on Bob.

It was Walters wanting more money and Bob asking HBO if they would pick up more of the purse. If Walters didn't price himself out, they'd have fought by now.

it's a couple of unknown (to the casuals) featherweights, what did you think it would do?

we should be talking about how great a fight it was.

Those numbers are racist. If Al Haymon were white they would have said the ratings were much higher.

[Derranged]

If you think about it, Haymon is the ultimate "slick brotha". He makes his fighters a great deal of money and virtually never gets caught on camera. A white promoter couldn't do that.

What if we add numbers from Mex and Brit?

[Eubankjr]

Ratings don't mean alot to pay tv.
