Comments Thread For: HBO's Replay of Joshua-Klitschko Peaked at 890K Viewers

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.

did your mother tell you i didnt pay her last week? That was just a one time thing... Tell her ill catch her next time when she is selling the coochie...

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.

dont say that, jason shaw will come to your house and will try to rape your parents, lol, apparently hes threatening non shotime people of coochie raping their mothers, lol, jason shaw is dedicated to al hayman and showtime, lol, jason shaw is mad so he will go after somebodies moms coochie, lol he may get yours, lol, he actually post this sh11t, lol true story

Showtime showed the fight at a very inconvenient time. Thankfully, Showtime does everything possible to make things convenient for boxing fans. So those of us on the road or out were able to watch the fight on Showtime Anytime on our tablets, laptops, phones, etc. I personally watched the entire broadcast on a tablet while being driven to a festival I was performing at.

These viewers watching on Showtime Anytime are not counted towards the Nielson total, even though they are Showtime subscribers watching live. Showtime's number is artificially low for this reason.


Meanwhile, HBO scheduled their replay directly after the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, one of their biggest events of the year. It averaged nearly 900k viewers. Artificially propping up HBO's number.


Although people are in denial, the tide is turning. The unified heavyweight championship of the world was contested live on Showtime, not HBO. Showtime's fighter won. Showtime's fighter is 14 years younger.

The tide is turning.

I have both, and truthfully I think Showtime has the better shows right now. I prefer Homeland, Billions, and Ray Donovan over anything HBO has had since Boardwalk Empire.....

But thats just me.......

The only legit comparison you can make is to other replays on HBO shown in a similar timeslot.

Fury/Klitschko Live - 1.038m
Fury/Klitschko replay - 676K

Joshua/Klitschko Live - 659K - Showtime
Joshua/Klitschko replay - 738K - HBO

The replay in same time slot out did klitchko previous fight. But the afternoon live ratings fell big time going from fury fight on HBO to Showtime.
