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

No one cares about Lomachenko, man.

Being a star in boxing is like being a star as a singer or a rapper or whatever. Just because you have talent doesn't mean people want to see you. I wish more people in charge of programming this sport understood that.

on free tv clown!!! Hbo is not free.

you dumb ****** the fight was not on hbo! It was on espn dumb bum

[aceventura]

you're a clown dude. Hbo is not free. You need to be a paying subscriber to watch their content. Those are hugeee ratings for a replay of a fight people already knew the outcome to.

you dumb clown the fight was on espn... Espn is in wayyyyy more homes than showtime dumbass clown

those numbers are really bad that's the point garcia thurman did 4 mill broner did 2-3 mill those are really bad numbers and theyre the best numbers he got in the states

even garcia broner did 900k on showtime and sold 12 thousand tickets... Loma only sold 4 thousand tickets and did 750

[Butch.McRae]

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

There's a lot of truth in this post lol but seriously if you don't have a huge personality/persona or a serious following in the Latino community, you're not going to do numbers in the U.S. market.

pacquiao spoke good english and he was a funny sweet guy in the media... Americans like him... Loma is very serious in the media and never speaks english

Lomachenko spoke English in the pre fight & post fight Interviews.

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.

broner vs garcia did 900k on showtime with millions less subscribers.... Broner vs porter did like 2.6 million on nbc.... Danny vs thurman did 5 million.... So the matchups and star power matters more than 1 p4p so called russian legend lol

[aceventura]

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..

exactly.... If crawford talked to the media more he would be even more famous....

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

i wonder what the peak was.

around what broner vs mikey did on showtime with millions fewer subscribers than espn.... Also mikey vs broner sold 3 times more tickets
