The only reason K2/GGG fought Wade & Jacobs were the mandatory reason, you can't deal with most of the PBC guys they want too much money that why I don't see Lara or Charlo in GGG plans on less they win an eliminator and became a mandatory...

so basically ggg doesnt fight anyone unless they are mando's...bs
canelo fougth haymon guys..ggg did to with brook...ggg's team in is strategic..if lara sends and offer they know it will be on showtie so they preach that "send an offer" bs...all they have to do is reach out and maket he fight for ppv...instead they pay previously ko'd jacobs..

How the hell did this rate higher than jack/degale

because a lot of real boxing fans tuned it, lara is a top five BOXER

lol, i also watched the fight, because I watch everything related to boxing, but the matchup was pure garbage and shouldnt have higher ratings than degale/jack (even if comparing these numbers doesnt really work, because of differences in subscription bases.

When TF did this fight happen

Great ratings for Spike.

Subscription-based TV vs Free TV is apples and chicken. Let alone PPV. It's idiocy comparing their ratings.

And some of these guys are actually comparing them to ppv numbers...

[daggum]

lara is the new cash cow in boxing. 50-50 split and lets see if ggg wants it

[DoktorSleepless]

Quit your bickering. Whether on Showtime or on Spike, Lara is a top ratings draw in the sport of boxing. No need to playa hate.

Lol I was wondering why this thread kept getting replies and I was expecting a buncha troll posts in the first couple of pages but that wasn't the case.

I'm shocked.

Laughing at people thinking 500K viewers, which if you grade on a curve is even below average even by PBC standards, is good. But compare this to Bellator which is also on Spike just drew 2.2m viewers and is much cheaper to produce then PBC. Ortiz got 300k purse while his opponent got 50k. Lara himself likely paid more then the entire Bellator card combined while drawing only 1/4th the ratings.
