Jacobs vs Derevyanchenko Averages Just 500k

[KTFOKING]

Sadly, HBO Boxing's retirement tour not resonating with fans. #JacobsDerevyanchenko - an excellent matchup going in and in real-time on Saturday - avg'd just 500k viewers. Figure is by far Jacobs' lowest ratings performance since returning to HBO last fall. #boxing

Shame as this was a quality quality match up. Jacobs badly needs the Canelo fight as his name value has plateaued. Doesn't sell out in his hometown nor do good ratings. Sucks, as he is a good dude who is in exciting fights.

Yeah those numbers do surprise me. Especially in light of the fact that this was supposed to be HBO's Championship Boxing final live show.

Vindicates HBO. Sad though, it was a fantastic fight and Jacobs is a great fighter and a very articulate and intelligent champion.

Yeah, you are so right. What a timely exit from the sport? I mean it was perfect timing given those low ratings.

I wonder if a portion of HBO's boxing subscriber base has already jumped ship since the news broke that they were getting out of the sport. These figures are puzzlingly low

That’s because his promoter doesn’t know what he’s doing. Had Jacobs doing press conferences in bars and fighting in conference rooms.

No doubt more than a few boxing fans have gotten rid of HBO since the announcement last month. But still should be putting up better numbers.

Ha! You're right, just fixed the OP.

That's not what Jacobs own manager says lol...

Conference rooms? I'm sure he fought in the Barclays and then another arena before fighting in the same conference room that's held lomachenko...will hold his fight against pedraza , aswell as kovalev and eermmm...Tyson fury in the past lol.

Some conference room that.
