Not bad for this type of fight.

I am surprised to see 769k people watched this card. Was a really bad card-Linares was way better than Gesta and Matthysse/Kirwan sucked until the KO.

People keep saying HBO Boxing is dead. But the fact this bs card did these numbers shows that ain't so.

HBO cards still get certain numbers that don't suck even if the fights do.

Just imagine what the numbers would be with a good card

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.
