Comments Thread For: Errol Spence Over The Moon With MONSTER Rating of 6 Million

[Kigali]

75% of the viewers remained after the olympics so the people liked what they were seeing, obviously he won't have 6 million viewers next time but there's plenty to be happy about. He put on a show for the viewers.

Good response.

He's pretty butt hurt about it...that's why he tried to throw shade.

It was a genius move to get the slot after the Olympics.

The numbers themselves mean absolutely nothing. Most people just didn't switch the channel after the Olympics. I was at a house party watching the basketball Gold medal game and after it ended, PBC came on. Everybody there thought it was part of the Olympics.

It's a genius move, but the ratings # will be a huge outlier.

Sure dude...

The numbers don't mean anything.

These hating mofos are going psycho..

The numbers were so high because of the olympics coverage right before that, and also the McGregor/Diaz fight doing so well. Spence wont consistently do even close to 6m, think about it Wilder did like 1.45 million http://www.boxingscene.com/wilder-ar...tworks--106891 , and he's a way bigger draw.

Nobody ever implied Spence brought in all of those 6 million viewers just based off of his name.

It's great news. Haymon needs to take full advantage of this.

I'm just explaining to those who are not aware.

Good for Spence but he can't let it go to his head because he has a ton of work to do to truly make it in boxing.

Errol Spence 6 million views will put the pressure on fighters like Thurman Garcia Porter to fight him soon

All fights aren't competitive.

All football games are not competitive.

All basketball games are not competitive.

All baseball games are not competitive.

That would be impossible.

I think boxing actually can try to match competitively in a way no other sport can, in NBA the 76ers have to play Cavaliers.

It means that 6.3 million people saw Spence, HBO has made boxing a niche sport
