    I'm calling BS on Danny Jacobs HBO ratings

    How did Danny go from 709k vs Arias
    811k vs Sulecki
    to
    500k vs Dereveychenko?

    What exactly changed for the ratings to drop that dramatically?

    And the superfly card was announced dramatically low.

    I think this is HBO trying to justify them getting out of boxing by fudging the numbers

    There's a guy on here, can't remember his name, who has talked about the way HBO fudges their ratings in the past

    Jacobs ratings were growing then suddenly they drop below his first HBO fight by over 200k?

      they announced they leaving boxing,

      and 200K people decided not to pay a extra $15 just to stick around and see a jacob fight.

        This fight could have done 2 Million views they'd still be getting out of Boxing come 2019.

          Yup, once HBO announce they would no longer broadcast boxing, I cancelled my subscription as well. I’m sure plenty of other boxing fans did the same probably the biggest reason ratings where so bad.

            Aren't ratings from an indie source? So HBO isn't coming up with their own ratings are they???? That don't sound right.

            But you ask what changed? HBO Boxing said they were going out of business changed. Also wasn't the World Series going on? I'm sure that combo played into the lower than recent numbers.

                    Wasn't there a free MMA card on that night?
                    I think Danny got some momentum from the Golovkin fight, but the further we get away from that, and the fact that Golovkin lost, the less people care about Danny. His last two fights before this weren't exactly a reason to tune into this one.
