Comments Thread For: Lomachenko-Marriaga Averaged Just 728,000 Viewers on ESPN

Terrible ratings compared to the Pac-Horn fight. And only about 4,000 people were in attendance too.

Still, I would have liked to see the Hall of Fame inductions get moved to ESPN2 instead.

If they scheduled that channel and time slot for boxing then they should have honored the schedule.

Loma plans to retire with 36. Few months ago he said that he wants to fight for 7 more years.

What we want and reality oftentimes aren't in agreement. He's a boxer. They all start looking and talking different around that age.

They wouldn't piss off a partner like the NFL for boxing

my bad lol.... what were the ratings for golden boy on espn? herrera vs soto? did they release those numbers?

lol no idea dude. I find it Hella of weird that no ratings were released for any of the golden boys cards on ESPN. PBC and TR ratings on ESPN are always released. Leads me to believe Oscar doesn't want the #s out there for what-ever reason.

Thats why Loma will face a Latin fighter next in December : Rigondeaux,Salido or Berchelt.

I really doubt Loma fights any of them. Arum has recently been on record saying that he isn't willing to pay any fighters enough money to fight Loma. He pretty much says money doesn't grow on trees for him or ESPN to pay fighters. I'm pretty sure Arum isn't working with a big budget to make fights for Loma. He pretty much had Loma's fight in a tiny theater where GB used to have there Fight Club series, where prospects fought.

Loma was fighting in a tiny theater where GB used to showcase their prospects with their Fight Night Club series.

**** ! Loma turns into Deontay Wilder by fighting bum after bum and claiming he is the best !

In Germany definitely not. 1. He doesn't speak German 2. Germans are no big boxing fans like the Brits. Here in Germany boxing is just a fringe sport like in the US.

Why were the Klitshco Bros. so successful in Germany?
