[DuckAdonis]

Good then hopefully we can see Joshua vs Wilder soon

[Bronx2245]

Wilder vs. Stiverne I:

Not only did Wilder’s victory make him America’s first heavyweight titleholder since Shannon Briggs in 2007, but the main event of the three-fight card captured an average audience of 1.24 million viewers, which ranks as the network’s fourth-highest rated fight ever.

Co-promoted by Golden Boy and Don King, Wilder-Stiverne attracted a peak audience of 1.34 million viewers, which ranks as the highest fight on any premium network over the past year, according to the Showtime release.

An average of 824,000 viewers tuned in for their brief bout, in which Wilder knocked down Stiverne three times before it was stopped with one second left in the first round.

Showtime needs Joshua, and so does Wilder! I'm almost sure that Joshua vs. Parker will do better than Wilder vs. Ortiz, even though Ortiz is a better fighter than Parker! Joshua is approaching Canelo status, where no matter whom he fights, he will sell!

You gotta be joking doe.

Those ratings are on free tv. Real Time with Bill Maher alone gets an average of 4 mil viewers. And that's on subscription, not free tv. And they don't have to pay gazillon dollars on diva fighters, set up elaborate boxing rings, hire hundreds of temp personnel, the works.

I don't know what the joke is? Are you questioning the numbers?

[greeneye99]

You said show example here’s one. Fighters don’t respect him.

https://********/4QeCHdJWS9Y

He’s with a English promoter because the Americans don’t want him. He can’t sell in America and definitely can’t sell in England


He ran to HBO because he was scared- Charlo

Jacobs resume isn’t that good he’s getting too much credit for going 12rds with ggg- Arias

He went to HBO to fight Luis Arias smh.

That's your example?
HBO is treating Jacobs with main event status and documentaries
Charlo's scare no boxers

[greeneye99]

I don't know what the joke is? Are you questioning the numbers?

Yea that's the joke on free Tv all boxers do over a million views
Showtime and HBO subscription Ratings are the ones that count

[greeneye99]

Can’t wait to AJ leaves Hearn though. Which will eventually happen. He doesn’t need a promoter. He prides himself on being a strong black man so I doubt he continues to let loud mouth Hearn make money off of him.imo Hearn will take AJ to HBO to avoid the Wilder fight.

Keep wishing...... Fans always know what's the best business decisions for their fav fighters lol

[rickJen]

Has Espinoza given up on making big fights locally and has become dependent on whatever Hearn produces?
Beyontay can't even accept anything less than 50/50, of all people.
How do you suppose to bank on a fight that is not even sure of materializing?

Spence is fighting Peterson.
Swift is fighting Rios.
Garcia is fighting Lipinets.
Are these all SHO got?

hahah remember when floyd and pac finally agreed and some pac fans/anti floyd guys swore up and down that showtime forced floyd into the fight? that was rich huh?

This may be the final straw if these 2 clowns jump to HBO, it is so obvious who is ducking who. With Showtime in the mix, I do not see why this fight doesn’t get made to see who the real heavyweight of the champion is, that is what the REAL BOXING FANS want to find out and see once and for all. If AJ pulls it off, I will be the first to give him his props, but for now, he is a scared fraud!
