That's good for day time boxing on HBO. It started at 2:30pm. You never see day time HBO break a million.

HBO aired at 5:30pm basically the same as Fury fight that drew over 1m viewers for HBO

From playing to a sold-out crowd of 50,000 at ESPRIT Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany, to Fury ending Klitschko's lengthy title reign, there was plenty to celebrate without actually focusing on the fight itself. The live presentation also made the HBO brass smile, as the Saturday afternoon matinee special averaged a staggering 1.038 million viewers.

Are you still butthurt because your hero vacated his belt to avoid Golovkin? He would've taken a knee during the ring walk and crapped his trunks.

Anyway, Golovkin is not a huge draw, we already knew this.

I have no hero.... it was canelo that vacated im not even a canelo fan

Ggg fought murray overseas HBO aired live at 5:45pm and that drew better ratings. The time is not the problem ggg is just not a big draw. Has hard core fans that troll the Internet but it doesn't translate to casual fans. Look at his ppv for more evidence of this.

More than half that number paid for it in the UK

Million plus with the UK numbers isnt bad for Golovkin. There arent many boxing fans that watch every fight anymore.

This is why HBO keeps on lowering their boxing budget and uses that money for shows that people actually watch like Game of Thrones.

You want HBO boxing to have a bigger budget? Simple. Get the audience.

Eddie Hearn said it, he said it done better numbers than Joshua vs Whyte and it's broken 500k.

Boxing on Sky is run by Hearn, it wouldn't be very difficult for him to access this kind of info

to be fair hearn is a slime ball that lies at every angle......so u mentioning hearn is like mentioning A bribing arum in his prime for numbers.


also the HBO numbers is what matters because golovkin primarily fights on HBO he doesn't have the U.K. crowd in the grand scheme of things.
