    Comments Thread For: Lemieux-Stevens HBO Show Peaked at 672K Viewers; Averaged 606K

    David Lemieux delivered a highlight-reel knockout Saturday night, but the former middleweight champion's dramatic victory over Curtis Stevens didn't deliver great ratings. According to figures released by Nielsen Media Research, the Lemieux-Stevens fight drew a peak audience of 672,000 viewers for HBO on Saturday night. An average of 606,000 viewers watched Lemieux-Stevens, which ended in the third round when Montreal's Lemieux's picture-perfect left hook knocked Brooklyn's Stevens unconscious at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.

      HBO boxing is dead,they should have never started a war with Haymon in the first place given his stable size.

          Lemieux turned in the kind of performance that ought to get him another big fight. But Golovkin beats him 9 out 10 times, to some degree I think the ceiling is set.

          Depending how it all goes this weekend- Jacobs vs. Lemieux could be a fun one.

                  Why are viewing figures so low in the states? I was looking forward to this fight and im shocked by these numbers.

                      So: Santa Cruz-Frampton rematch peaked at 643,000, on Showtime... while this one picked at 672,000... right?

                              Good question. Showtimw has been survibg with these types of ratings or worse. Jacobs quillin bute vs degale didnt reach these numbers.

                                  Okay numbers. Unfortunately Gamboa fought a journeyman and Gamboa didn't leave the viewers or HBO viewers at all impressed.

                                  Also why HBO decided to have such a late start time was a bad decision.

                                  But Lemieux did have a highlight reel knockout and good fight. So my guess Lemieux will definetly be back on HBO his next fight, Gamboa however won't his next fight I bet.

                                      That's not bad for a fight that got zero promotion.
