Comments Thread For: Munguia's Win Against Ali Drew Peak of 779,000 Viewers for HBO

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The ratings for his HBO debut understandably weren't as high for Jaime Munguia's huge win Saturday night as those for the middleweight champion he wanted to fight a week earlier. Viewers still are much more familiar with the Mexican knockout artist than they were this time last week.

Those are good numbers. The kid is a star!

WAR MUNGUIA!

[_original_]

Good numbers all things considered.


This kid really got his name out there out of nowhere. First with being a possible opponent against GGG and now with stepping in as a late replacement against the champion and destroying him.

Not trying to be funny at all this is serious question. How come when PBC was doing 1million+ on Fox CBS etc everyone said the numbers were horrible considering the amount of subscribers. How is HBO any different? How is 700k good on HBO? I’m sure the Execs at HBO aren’t pleased with anything under 1 million.

Nobody cares about Ali and nobody knows Munguia so it's not bad considering......

Good ratings. Looks like a lot of fans switched over the moment the loma fight ended. The HBO lead in which overlapped with the final mins of the fight drew 396K viewers starting at 10pm. Then spiked almost up by double the moment the fight ended. Shows these networks stagger their start times on nights where they go head to head with fight cards.


Last weekend ratings

Devin Haney vs Mason Menard 276K - Showtime

Linares vs Lomachenko 1.024M - ESPN

Ali vs Munguia 711K - HBO
Vargas vs Azat 619K - HBO

How disgusting is HBO and their commentators to brainwash the viewers to think this kid is HUGE (Pause) are u kidding me he weighed in less than Ali at weigh in and also was only 1LB heavier night of the fight. But since he wasnt a black fighter (PBC and daddy Al) or a white boy from Russia with Daddy Arum. He was "HEAVIER" FOH stop all this bs reporting of the sport. The kid can crack and busted Ali open period. If Ali won it would have been Munguia has never fought outta Mex he didnt have the experience bull**** as usual.

You literally don't even need cable to watch Fox or cbs. It's not even close to being equivalent, neither is ESPN because it's packaged with most deals. Hbo, Showtime and all the other premium cable channels require an individual subscription. It's easy to understand why somethings on fox would get far better ratings over hbo

Danny Jacobs just drew 811K and he's far more known then Ali or Munguai. Almost nobody is doing 1M, ESPN barely hit 1M viewers for Loma/Linares and they have more viewers on their network and advertised the fight like crazy on Sportscenter and all their media stations and websites. Danny Garcia who fought Thurman on CBS drew only 516K viewers just 2 months ago on Showtime. These are good ratings.

700k isn’t good on hbo and 1-1.5 mil on CBS or Fox in 4-5x more households is even worse.
