I believe HBO after dark comes on later than Showtime prime boxing right?

That fight was fixed, the Asian took an dive during the 2nd knocked down.

This is a far cry from the 1 million views HBO used to get regularly.

They have fallen off.

I don't know if your are just trolling or not, but one thing is for certain HBO is and continue to be The best and biggest platform for boxers and boxing in general.

Umm not anymore it ain't

Decent numbers for Matthysse vs a virtual nobody from Thailand!

It's not hard to believe, It's in way more homes.

Plus a lot of people stream the fights through the Showtime app, something that HBO doesn't offer.

strong ratings. For comparison Showtime had only 2 fights all last year that did better then these numbers. And it just did better ratings then Spence's fight a week ago which avg 637K viewers.

Top 20 premium cable ratings for 2017


And if you compare to some of the ESPN cards last year it stacks up well

Crawford vs. Indongo 965K
Lomachenko vs Marriaga 728K
Gilberto Ramirez vs Jesse hart 710K

There a big difference between HBO and ESPN, Showtime. HBO doesn't allow you to stream live fights while both Showtime and ESPN do. I myself and I know a lot of other people who stream fights through the Showtime app. All the views via streaming apps aren't counted by the Nielsen ratings.

That's a bold face lie you can stream HBO on slingtv, directv now, Playstation Vue ect. There are tons of folks who cut the cord and still watch HBO solely via streaming. Also folks who pay for HBO through traditional cable and satellite provder can watch streaming live by login to those provider apps for example xfinity, verizon all have their own apps you use. HBO doesn't provide their own app for live stream only on demand but they let you use the app for xfinity or if you don't have cable you can buy it from slingtv ect if you a boxing fan and want to watch live.

This is the new excuse when showtime gets shyt ratings well everyone is watching by streaming like the rest of the entire industry ain't in the same boat and losing ratings to streaming. The ratings are what they stop these BS excuses.
