Comments Thread For: Broner-Vargas Telecast Peaked at 869,000 Viewers on Showtime

I don't know how anyone can verify that Tank sold half the ticket sales. Until someone has proof of that claim I will assume Broner sold the tickets just like Broner is the one fans tuned in to see on TV. Despite having a big draw like Broner on the TV card as a lead in but STILL almost half didn't turn on the TV until after Davis fight.

There is a way. Of course, that depends on how they buy them...but there is a way. And the optics reflect it. Venue was nearly full when Tank fought.

Factor in NBA Playoffs.

Not bad. AB can still pull em as much as I wish he’d go away.

These are really good numbers for Broner despite a BAD loss to Mikey still drew basically what he drew last year with Granados. Compare this to what Danny Garcia (516K) and Spence (637K) did as well as the Lara/Hurd fight (490K).

Now imagine if Broner could actually win these fights lol

This tells me Broner even as a train wreck still draws fans. Disappointing numbers for Tank and Charlo. You have a great headline lead in and fans literally skipped their fights and just showed up on TV to watch Broner. Charlo fight on the Mikey Garcia/Broner undercard and drew virtually the same ratings. Charlo vs Heiland did 500K viewers. Just like last time fans huge spike to watch Broner vs Garcia with only half watching the Charlo fight.

Is that good or bad number for murica?

For Showtime they're okay numbers. Borner didn't draw quite as many viewers as he did when he faced Mikey, which isn't a surprise considering he lost that fight.

Seems like Charlo and Davis on the undercard didn't move the needle at all.

Nearly half of the ticket sales weee from B-more. Tank pulls a crowd.

Not surprising that Broner did better with Mikey Garcia. Jessie Vargas just isn’t a viable B-side.

A bit surprised he didn't match the Garcia numbers...Vargas obviously isn't as big a draw, but he is a name and the undercard was stacked...I don't think these numbers will encourage Showtime to stack cards in the future.

I think the Super Fly Card did more than that........or close.

Drop from Broner ratings last year against Mikey but close to what he drew against Granados.

Mikey Garcia vs. Adrien Broner 881K
Adrien Broner vs. Adrian Granados 779K

Also shows nobody really cared about the Charlo and Davis fights. Ratings low for them then spike for Broner.
