Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Martirosyan Cable's Most-Watched Boxing Match in 2018

[Robbie Barrett]

Floyd could announce a fight tomorrow and get a high view like GGG. However, if he had 3 months to promote the event, it wouldn't change the viewership?


are you mentally ill?



what are you arguing here? GGG did better numbers than Wilder with a full promotion against a better more known opponent. This is a fact.

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.

It's funny how angry stuff like this makes people.

Boxingscene summarized:

1. We need boxing back on top MMA must die!!!

2. WTF this isn't what I meant this boxer looks like an MMA fighter (if you catch my drift wink wink)

Or swap the directions if you want.

Same old.

Lol all that shade Oscar was throwing didn’t work.

[Butch.McRae]

Am I the only person not surprised by this? Lol

It was Cinco De Mayo and it was free boxing to watch for the first time in forever. Anything lower than 1 million would've been a disaster lol

The short time to promote hurt ticket sales not viewership. From the time it was announed that Canelo failed a drug test Loeffler said GGG was still fighting on the 5th. He changed the venue at the last minute. Everybody still knew he was fighting on HBO on the 5th.

ya all the casuals knew he was on HBO?

man i gotta stop arguing with these mentally deranged bums.


bye.

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

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Deontay fought a legit great contender and had a full length of promotion leading into the fight.


Still only got 1.1

1.1 on showtime is like 1.8 on hbo lol..

All the casuals expect boxing on cinco de mayo, the only boxing on was Golovkin.

Make sure you tell chrisJS this when he gets off his faux racism soapbox.

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.
