Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Brook Did 843K Live Viewers; 833K For Chocolatito' Fight

[IMDAZED]

600K < 700K. See that number in my original post of 600K, that's me concluding 600K were new watchers. That's mean I already subtract 100K for being returning viewers. So I already factored in return viewers in my post yet you still decided to respond with this rubbish.

Don't like those numbers than lets say 500K new viewers and 200K retuning viewers. Now we have about 1.35 Million overall viewers. Take it how you wanna but the numbers are still good.

Yeah basically you and I don't know. Half could have been repeats for all we know. Or none. Or most.

The official number for unique viewers for both time slots have already been posted. The guys that crunch the numbers have conclude 1.43 Million 1st time viewers. That's right around were I projected.

That US only. Like someone mentioned, Hearn said it did over 500k buys in UK (but less than the record 900k set by Froch/Groves).

Loeffler said they had a new deal with German tv going into this fight. The last time for the Murray fight they did 2.3 million viewers in Germany and 740k in the UK (on free-tv Ch.5). The Murray fight also did 6.1 million viewers in Mexico.


Here's all the tv networks listed for the fight:
United Kingdom SKY Box Office, USA HBO, Latin America: Canal Space, Poland PolSat Sport HD, Panama RPC Channel 4, Hungary Sport 2, Mexico Azteca, New Zealand Sky Arena, Australia FOX

Ah, so the usual suspects trying to throw shade then. Gotcha, so globally the number likely will be pretty high.

you're talking to a brick wall. Clowns like him cannot understand the concept of someone not being willing to ********** themselves for a few nickels.....

So fighting the biggest star in boxing for a career payday is prostituting yourself for a few nickles? This is why GGG's career is crap because you keep thinking this idiot is entitled to something HE HASN'T EARNED. Did Floyd ********** himself for a few nickles when he agreed to all Oscar's A side demands to fight him right away. Floyd could of pulled a GGG and try to tell Oscar what weight, what date, ect he needs to fight at. Floyd was more accomplished, beat better fighters, sold more PPVs when he had to "********** himself for a few nickles" to get Oscar the bigger draw to fight him. There is no skipping the line to greatness. One day maybe GGG will realize this and stop fighting bums or WW's. When he is ready to take risks and bend to make bigger fights then maybe causal fans will care about GGG. Until then he's just a small time internet hardcore boxing fan only sensation.

After the Brook fight GGG was trending at the top on twitter with 3 more topic related in top 10. Facebook went crazy with it. Boxing scene crashed. We get atleast 20 threads daily about him.
Game of Thrones Cast were there with GGG, Ibrahimovic was there. GGG is only growing. Only haters can't see it.
With the option of live streaming everything these days, who even watches Television ? With the passage of time its getting obsolete, let alone watching it on an afternoon.

So, when is Bumlovkin's next PPV fight on American TV?

accepting ridiculous terms just for the "honor" of facing someone while being put at a distinct disadvantage is indeed prostituting yourself.

[Nay_Sayer]

he actually has a valid point. If I were Peter Nelson, and K2 lost a purse bid to Haymon, rather than have my fighter (GGG) have to give up a belt, I would allow him to fight off network, and let Haymon lose millions of dollars watching his own guy get ghouled. And just as a door prize, any of the Showtime / PBC viewers who might not have HBO get to see Golovkin and perhaps become fans. It would be win/win for HBO.......

And what if Bumlovkin should lose?

[Kigali]

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

[bigdunny1]

Its seems like you are new to the Internet

So his fanbase who cares so much about him just illegally watched the fight rather then support him by watching it on HBO? Because like I said HBO doesn't offer a live stream for their fights. And HBO viewers couldn't care less about GGG as the ratings prove. Just like his PPV sales last year but I guess his fanbase is so big and they just illegally watched the PPV as well. Or maybe this massive fanbase you talk about just doesn't exist and that's why HBO won't give him another PPV and why these ratings tanked.

HBO is dying thank GOD for PBC lmaooooo
