he will post few more posts again for sure.. Some with caps lock on, some with caps lock off..

hes gonna call u a ****** on that post to defend showtime, lol u know this

[JASON SHAW]

again, i couldn't care less about networks.. Unless you want to hear the words "showtime did better than hbo" but the numbers doesn't support it..

who said showtime did better? Its almost impossible to beat a channel with 8 more million subs than you? Is that so complicated? If showtime and hbo both were in 30 million homes then it would be a clear cut win..... Even though showtime showed this fight at 5 on a saturday..... They still broke the record for a afternoon fight....

HBOLD IS AVAILABLE IN 27% MORE HOMES! THEY SHOULD BEAT SHOWTIME BY MORE THAN THIS..... GOOD FOR JOSHUA TO GET GOOD RATINGS ON BOTH CHANNELS..... PLUS 1.5 MILLION PPV'S IN LONDON.....

HBO = 30 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!
SHOWTIME = 22 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!

FACTS MATTER

First off, London is not a country.

Second, Sky never release figures.

Third, Hearn says he doesn't know the numbers but "he's sure they beat 1.5" ... yeah that sounds convincing.

Fourth, Hearn is a pathological liar and 90k people boeod him off the stage.

There is only a about a 15% difference in subscribers from HBO compared to Showtime. See list of subscribers for all networks

Yet Showtime is drawing about half as many viewers for the same boxing content. Give it rest with these BS excuses.

uhmmmm, except that they didnt. Even GGG-Brook beat it with an 843k average and a 907k peak, you dunce.

Wow so the replay got more viewers?? Damn just shows what a great fight it was to have that many viewers again, and also shows that HBO still has more boxing fans. Sadly their programming for boxing sucks lately. So many shows on PPV that should have been free, they barely have any boxing after dark and just generally less and less prime time boxing.

LOL @ the tards on here arguing and concerned about which *** network is better. Smh.

Doesn't the fact that Showtime doesn't have as many subscribers shows which network is doing better? Why do you care though? You're broke.

Or Fury v. Klitschko turned a lot of people off to heavyweight boxing. That was a horrible fight. Worse than May-Pac. But May-Pac gets blamed whenever PPV numbers are low. So why not blame Fury-Klitschko for these numbers?

Because less people gave a **** about Fury-Klitchko to begin with.

Pac-Mayweather was THE ONE, it was the fight that broke into the mainstream. People who didn't know boxing, knew about that fight. And it was a let down.

People who don't know boxing have no fkn clue who Tyson Fury is.
