    Probably not-too-bad numbers for a ridiculous mismatch of a title fight. Maybe they'd do better with Bivol fighting someone with a pulse

      For a debut that really wasn't marketed I think that's actually a solid number for Bivol.

      I think HBO would be wise to continue to pick up Bivol fights and give him a bigger showing.

      I'm guessing that if Barrera beats his next opponent that Bivol vs Barrera will be up next on HBO.

        The fight looked like it was in a fancy library and it was a 3 minute mismatch. 356, 000 is more than that fight deserved.

            If GGG's first PPV had been against Floyd, you can bet the rest of his all would have been at least in the Canelo minimum range too. Also, 97k is a fake number. #KeepHating on the Ring #1 P4P fighter though.

              HBO now bragging about almost matching Showtime's ratings while ignoring the fact that they have a 30% larger subscriber base.
