It was Cinco De Mayo. People look for boxing on Cinco De Mayo. It's been that way for like ten years now lol and it was free this time.

Why is this surprising?

its nothing to do with cinco de mayo or lack of promotion or that the fight was put together last minute.

Ggg is a ratings machine. He’s done these types of numbers when off ppv. Look at wade Rubio etc ratings.

I'm a fan of GGG weirdo. Just pointing out the obvious. He was already doing good numbers before the PPV stunts.

But free boxing on Cinco De Mayo would obviously pull a great number of views.

And to be clear, he couldn't carry a PPV without Canelo. So let it go. Even I know that.

Fake ass GGG fans really they be haters, GGG is A side deal with it, Canelo is a ginger white boy who got schooled.

What racism? You've got issues dude. Always trying to grind an axe. I know there's plenty of white posters, Hispanic posters, black posters even that clown Robbie who is British who is always pissed when a fighter who's nuts he doesn't lust after draws good viewership.

I personally actually really love the sport and want every show to succeed. Hence why I watch them all and attend nearly every one in the LA area and travel to Vegas and NYC plus other areas to support the sport. That's why I struggle to understand so-called Boxing fans rooting for it's downfall and you know those people are in this forum.

Look dude, if "poster anger over ratings" is your real issue, point it out always. All you wanted to do was spark some BS race thing by over exaggerating that non white posters will be upset that GGG did good numbers.

When you do this stuff it takes away from any positive contribution made to the forum.

You post nothing when so called fans root for the downfall of the sport in other instances. If you really love the sport, point this stuff out all the time, not just when its someone you like.

actually u are 100% wrong. Hbo and showtime have both discusses surveys they have set to their subscribers who say boxing is a major reason or the only reason they subscribe. That’s theonly reason I subscribe to both.

Lol Game of Thrones has nothing to do with it? Sure buddy. I subscribe to both as well. I'm also positive I know more about this stuff than you.

Original content is much more important than boxing to both networks. Which is reflected in their budgets.

I point it out when anyone ****s on a show that didn't do well and that's whoever that show was. You can check the history. I'm consistent with that. I always call out fake fans.

What's up with the "white boy" stuff? Lol some of you guys need medication.

He's an A side fighter but can't make the $20 million without fighting Canelo? Hmm just let it go lol

Dontae boxing nation is going to pop a blood vessel when he sees this.
