HBO didnt mention that 1.5 million people went to sleep by the 3rd round..

If it was ppv that number be around 300k. It was a free hbo fight makes sense that people watched it.

Hopkins always gets good numbers on premium cable, also that Chavez guy (the writer of the article) always moans about the ratings being smaller then they were 10 years ago...the fact is all HBO shows in general have much smaller ratings then they did a decade ago since there are a lot more channels today and these 2012 numbers are much more healthy then they were in 2009-2011.
