Comments Thread For: Lomachenko-Walters HBO Broadcast Peaked At 761,000 Viewers

The Ward-Kovalev fight was the lead in. I thought for sure this would do over a million views. I guess the Ward-Kovalev replay did horrible too

Hold up I mis-read that. Loma-Walters actually did worse rating than Ward-Kovalev replay. How the hell does the main even lose viewers from the replay?!?!?

Is it actually peak? That other site claims it's P2+. (average)

It actually is the average which doesn't speak well, because that means the peak may have been less considering the rating it ended with

Ward-Kov did 834k, more than the Loma-Walters.

Yea I just noticed I read that wrong. How the hell do you get less viewers than the replay? WTF?

Free TV would have been best neither 1 of these fights were worth a dime of my money
2 c... especially kovalev Ward with all that holding his pathetic how they overhyped that fight...

its seems bad for the sport but one could argue the opposite. I don't know how to exactly describe the boxing market right now but fighter pay does not seem consistent. It seems as pay is determined by negotiation alone. Prolly not alone but more than anything and if that's the case no wonder HBO ain't paying and fighters aren't taking risks. When these egotistical fighters overestimates their value, this leads to others overestimating their worth, which in turn forces HBO to pay these dudes more than they should. The market needs to normalize. HBO and Showtime need to take a more hardline stance in fighter pay.

welp i feel vindicated yet again about saying bob should have offered 50-50 from the start for this fight..
..both men do their highest rating together..
too bad an unfair deal (imo), promotional favoritism, and a year layoff all combined to give us a **** SHOW...

shame on bob arum..wat happened to "we dont want to fight walters he has no belt."
???

i guess no belt and laid off a year sounds like "he's the undisputed champion" tho

im done with this issue.just understandif you argue u're part of the issue..BS promoters need to be gone..not fans like me who want fair deals to make fair fights
