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

I wonder what the peak was.

There has never been an eastern European guy who became a star in boxing in the USA. That's a fact Loma is incredible but he'll have a great career but never be a star

Put him in with Pacquiao at 135/140 (Pacquiao says he can make those weights still). If he destroys Pacquiao in a similar fashion to how Pacquiao destroyed De La Hoya then Loma will become a draw.

Half those viewers fell asleep watching the HOF show. The real numbers are 360k.

Worse than his HBO ratings. Boxing is learning that making your show available to more viewers doesn't necessarily mean higher ratings for this sport. Let's see what the Crawford fight does.

Would've done more if it was a Salido rematch.

Nobody wanted to see Lomachenko fight Marriaga.

Hopefully Arum: a) Makes the fight w/ Rigondeaux, b) Picks a better time slot w/ ESPN, c) Have a much better co-headliner!

That's a lie Klitschko was dropped by HBO post ratings

...HBO Televised his last fight Vs Jashua dude..They fought with Showtime to see who would televise it live and who would show the replay later on. HBO showed the replay, and it still managed to get almost 900k views.

900k for free to air is terrible post his numbers it's a known fact that Klitschko underperformed numbers wise why argue about a known fact?

Crawford will do much better no doubt. None of the HOF nonsense and hes an American that draws a million on HBO in a unification bout. Loma is a no name really..
