Originally posted by Jubei View PostWow 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.

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.

Originally posted by Furn View PostThe only legit comparison you can make is to other replays on HBO shown in a similar timeslot.
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.
