Too bad it wasn't an entertaining fight

Not bad! Good to see these numbers for a fight like this! Wish it was more interesting but at least Arum made the fight when a lot of haters said he wouldn't do it! Now the same haters are saying he won't make the Loma/Mikey fight. The hate will never stop!

Two foreigners fighting in a bingo hall, drawing massive ratings ; only in the great U.S.A! lets see this happen in any other country - land of opportunity!

Absolutely outstanding number of views. Names will bring out viewers

I thought it could hit 2 million, but that number is still awesome

Most of those people watching were Cubans, nobody really gives a **** about Lomachenko

Not names, but great fights. Word of mouth. Rigo isn't a big name, and Loma is only just becoming one, but because it was a great matchup, word spread.

Max Kellerman is on suicide watch ever since HBO burned themselves by turning their back on Manny and Arum last year. He can't sit ringside at Crawford or Loma fights now and his idol Ward is retired. LOL.
