ya all the casuals knew he was on HBO?

man i gotta stop arguing with these mentally deranged bums.


bye.

Yea. Have a seat

The amount of hype and exposure HBO has given Golovkin over the years you should expect good numbers. Shame he can't pull them in when he tries to carry a PPV. People will watch him for free but they aren't paying to watch his garbage fights.

#1 boxing viewership in 2018 on a fight with last minute replacement and 0 promotion.

that Deontay Wilder isn’t getting by people to subscribe to showtime. Their shouldn’t be a gap between them and hbo as hbo boxing fades away

People don't generally subscribe to HBO or Showtime for boxing. They sign up for the original content and movies.

Boxing is a perk. It's not driving decisions for subs to the general population. HBO has the most popular show in the history of premium cable. There's no comparison there.

When Ward last fought in Oakland they were giving tickets away. But yeah hes the best and deserves to be the A side.
Glad to hear GGG did well. I had to text a few buddies because they thought he wasnt fighting because of the Canelo drama.

* It’s funny how stuff like this makes people angry???

No. It's funny how angry it makes them. Funny how it makes them angry wouldn't be as quantitative.

Good numbers for a mismatch. Very good indeed. Cinco de Mayo still draws fans to boxing I guess

You mean like when Wilder gets 1.2 million viewers? You never seem to point out how that upset people.

I don't even dislike Wilder. I dunno where you got that from.

I'm an unapologetic joshua basher though.

On cinco de mayo. They could have put Lara on and it would have don over a mil.

Yeah an American Heavyweight almost getting as many views in his biggest fight as a Kazakh fighter in a grotesque mismatch on American TV is a big deal.

GGG has done better ratings and for longer than Wilder and been part of a very successful PPV.

I don't care as I am not a fan of either.

Just want to make sure posters like you and /// remember to point out actual poster anger over ratings success instead of predicting poster anger like you did in this thread.

Let the faux racism go dude.

Personally, I did not watch this fight. This is a clear indication of ggg’s popularity and good for him, maybe now he can move on from having to chase the canelo pay day and fight one of the other lions out there.
