Rematch wasnt needed or wanted. Neither guy can hurt each other or have any significant change of pace or game plans. Showtimes numbers are sad really. I know its trendy to say " how about the stream" but until they figure out how many ppl actually watch stream over showtime channel then these numbers have to be indicative of what kind of numbers of ppl watching. And thats sad. Make fights worth watching and ppl will pay the low fee to watch. Put on charlo vs hurd and LSC vs Mares, garcia vs rios and theyll stay around these numbers. Pretty simpleComment

The Staples Center was packed, so just because some ratings that don't factor in streaming views, doesn't say much. I've haven't seen a Showtime fight on cable in 2 years. I've been watching them through their Showtime streaming app. Can people say that Crawford fight did over a million views? Nobody knows. ESPN and Showtime fight ratings can be taken with a grain of salt. I believe Showtime has around 5 million subscribers to their streaming app. ESPN also allows you to watch fights via their app. HBO ratings are really telling because they don't allow you to stream live fights via their streaming app. However, you could stream a fight on HBO through DirectTV streaming app. But I believe those ratings are counted as cable views by Nielsen.Comment

Don’t get the negativity from the writer or from the people posting
First off No sh.it less people watched on Showtime compared to ESPN l, why does Keith IDec feel the need to point that out in the first sentence
Decent numbers for showtime and it did 12-13k attendance how can people sh.it on that
the people b.itching and crying about a rematch between top 5 guys who previously had a FOTY candidate and want to pump the tires when Crawford beats the brakes off a scrub who probably won’t be heard of again unless he’s used as a B-side to get beat down again have their priorities all f.ucked upComment

Cruz/Mares could fight 10 times and Rd 1 is going to look the same as Rd 120. No knockdowns, no drama, no intrigue....Comment
