Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Horn Generates Monster TV Ratings For ESPN

[sicko]

Expected That! I'm sure the ratings are record Breaking as it should be. Unfortunately when boxing get record breaking numbers it is usually for either a disappointing fight or a fight that ends in controversy now you got casual sports fans/celebrities attacking the sport of boxing as a WHOLE because of some ****** judges!

It shouldn't be surprising that manny brought huge numbers to espn...

espn is a hype machine that can really promote to a casual audience and putting a big name star like manny on espn will draw eyeballs.

I do think they need to cut a lot of the undercard.. maybe an opener fight and then the main event.. casuals don't want to sit around for 2 hours for the main event, especially late night..


Loma and Crawford probably won't do anywhere near those numbers, but they will draw healthy viewership

Ill say this not bad despite only having one week of promotion. If they rematch on ESPN those numbers will double, the controversy sells. But I doubt Arum will put the rematch on ESPN knowing how greedy he is he will put it on PPV in the states.

Lomachenko and Crawford will do the same numbers that PBC did on ESPN.

I believe Arum is going to build up Horn to fight Crawford down the line.

ESPNs production was amazing, I liked it better than HBO and showtime. Teddy is emotional but that extreme reaction stuff sells big time with fans, so does Stephen A smiths ranting thats why Smith is a draw on their network casuals love outrageous personas.

Pac is still a draw. His last PPV on HBO against Bradley did better than all their PPV's except Canelo. Pacquiao is the most known fighter sans Floyd. Why HBO choose to get out the Pacquiao business and invest in 33+ year old eastern Europeans, and midget boxing, is beyond me.

Good numbers but that decision was such bull s*ht.

Because I remember you saying boxing is dying or dead already and you always over-exaggerate about what will harm boxing.

The last thread I saw was the May-Mac thread you made saying Floyd needs to KO Mac or boxing will be harmed. That's why I mentioned you when I heard this fight was the highest rated of the decade.

All these years of us going back and forth and this is what will make you put me ignore? I rarely post in NSB, so this is shocking. I would have expected it to be something that happened in the lounge but if it's hurt you that much, do what you must!

Yeah sicko its sad it was a very entertaining scrap that Casuals enjoyed they love that bloody wild brawling stuff, they were getting ******s watching this and praising boxing and ESPN but when the decision went to Horn these clowns started attacking boxing and saying they will never watch boxing again, wtf why they hating on boxing and the fight was free on ESPN why they *****ing.

I hate when people blame boxing as a whole, they just enjoyed a good scrap and forget it because of a decision that they didnt agreed with,

I never seen people do this in UFc when UFC gets decisions that are not popular you dont see millions of people saying UFC is shady or ufc does it again corrupt, but when boxing has a unpopular decision you see idiots saying boxing is dead, UFC will never do this.

Even Stepen A smith said UFC will never do this they dont rob fighters lmao wow

[siablo14]

Totally agree...


If you put the true big names on espn, on a consistent basis, boxing will become more popular

Exactly plus most bars or male bonding events usually have the channel stuck on ESPN so boxing got added exposure there.

Not surprising

Bro but there are so many people on here why am I on your mind, it reminds me of that dude Big Dunn, I have him on block but he still mentions me, I dont reply to him anymore but when I search my name im on the tip of his tongue.

Bro Jeff Horn won this fight, let me enjoy okay, geez people always gotta try to start fights for nothing.

Okay but as I said. You are the only person who I remember making those boxing is on the decline threads. Maybe there are others that I don't recall.

How is the points bet between you and the English boy gonna play out because Horn didn't KO Pac in 5, so does he still have to pay?
