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

[HeadShots]

yup drew less viewers then his last time on sat night HBO (Wade drew 1.325 million viewers) and only a tiny bit more then Wilder just did. Difference is Wilder ALSO drew almost DOUBLE the attendance with 14,069 while GGG drew 7,837 with 1/3 of the venue empty. Also Wilder made 2.1M while GGG only got a 1M purse. Yet a lot of GGG fans have been killing Wilder as not known.

how did Wilder draw with a last minute replacement?


800K viewers.

most people(casuals) knew GGG and Canelo were fighting May 5th. Most people know Canelo tested positive.


No word from GGG's camp he was fighting until the very last min

Not exactly accurate. GGG camp was very clear in March that he was going to keep the date. The only thing that's been up in the air was who the opponent was going to be.

The numbers were good. I'm sure many tuned in to see a World Star type beat down and they got it.

How long did they have to promote the fight and how long did they have to sell tickets?

Canelo against no named Smith sold something crazy like 20K tickets in just a matter of days of it going on sale with the same ticket prices GGG just had. And topped out at 52K. They could of had 8 weeks these tickets weren't moving. They sold out the cheapest of the cheap tickets in a matter of days and then went 2 weeks with no movement on the rest of the tickets and were forced to take food stamps and give the rest of them away. If the tickets ain't cheap or free GGG fans are cheap as phuk and won't buy them LMAO

Lol like I said, how many did ward sell in his home town Oakland? They had to give tickets away.
Now I would consider ward one of the best but yet he couldn't sell out. It also did very little views.
My point? **** happens and there's needs to be a hype for a fight.

was this a last minute replacement fight?

[Wolfie*]

Where all the 97k trolls at now?

Right. Because paying $60.00 for a fight is totally the same as watching it on regular HBO.

[aboutfkntime]

the Braekhus fans must have turned out in force

then he should start selecting suitable opponents

the names they were rattling off were Munguia, Spike, and Vanes

Team Cheap-Shine should have listened to the fans..... it is obvious that punters can see whats up with G
