Lomachenko is a no name. Piss poor ratings, only 750k views on ESPN!!!

Overnight ratings for #Lomachenko-Marriaga on ESPN: 10-12 on ESPN2 pulled about 250K. Main event pulled about 750K. Perhaps switch hurt

What a nobody!!! Gervonta is right. Lomachenko is B-side trash.

That's why Davis vs Rigo needs to happen, instead.
Fight is easy to make and Davis would make it entertaining.
Forget Lomachenko. It's not good for the Cuban to look back after leaving TR.
Gamboa and Chavez Jr have moved on.
Garcia and Rigo needs to move on also.

In fairness espn running the pro football hall of fame stuff an hour longer than scheduled likely turned off some people. I myself watched the fight on box nation because of the long delay.

Same day as HOF induction, ****** date to put it on

Did the main event start at midnight in the US?

I taught this fight would peak at at least 1m.

I think it was after midnight eastern time.

No surprise. People will make excuses but Lomachenko is a nobody compared to Pacquiao. Top Rank is only pulling those numbers from Pacquiao-Horn if Pacquiao fights on ESPN again.

They shouldn't have had it on the same night as the NFL Hall of Fame Inductions. The NFL is the most popular sport in the U.S. The Super Bowl has gotten record ratings over all TV programs in U.S. History multiple times.

I'm more of a fan of boxing than I am of the NFL. But I understand why ESPN kept the NFL on, it's about priorities. And since the NFL is way more popular than boxing in the U.S. that happened.

But Thankfully ESPN has multiple channels so they were able to switch to another ESPN channel.

But yeah, bad idea to have that fight on the same night as the NFL Hall of Fame Inductions.

Late start time. I was ready to go to sleep but stayed up to watch only cause I'm a die hard.
