i did the complete opposite. I changed channels during the Andrade fight and tuned in to the main event. That Andrade fight was horrible to watch.

You were in the minority.

This really was like a Shobox card but Its true I only watched the Boo Boo fight and the main event

HBO boxing numbers continue to slip. Starting to look identical to Showtime's #s (without the free trial).

HBO still does far better numbers. those numbers are pretty good considering the names on the card.

The main event was a ****ing great scrap, I stayed up until 6 AM (live in England) because I knew it would deliver

People are ****ing ******ed. You get a quality main event and no one wants to watch it then afterwards they'll cry about boxing dying and HBO going down the toilet and PBC failing etc etc etc

Damn, the Andrade-Fox fight killed the card dead. The Machado-Corrales fight was action, but people had already given up.

You can't really knock HBO. On paper, Andrade Fox looked like it was going to be a one-sided beating/showcase KO with the potential to turn into a war, but Fox **** his pants after Andrade landed in the first round and decided to run and spoil the rest of the night.

Yea Fox didn't use his height and reach to his advantage. It's still some things he's got too learn. You're right though if Andrade would have pressed the action he could have got him out of there early.

Fox is is like a MW Paul Williams to me when he was 147 real tall and lanky type guy for their weight classes. They had an opportunity I get it but this fight was all wrong for Fox. Such a jump in levels of competition. Hope he learned a lot and his corner as well.
