    Good numbers. Ward can build a nice following if he can keep knocking people out and/or making them quit.

    Strong, strong number for HBO. I'm really glad he put up an exciting performance for that large of an audience. Boxing has too many showcase fights that are stinkers, we don't need any more.

    Im not american, but im pretty sure HBO is not free TV, you need to pay for it. And also you need to pay +PPV if you wanna watch big fights.

    This.

    You have to pay monthly to get HBO. Subscribing to HBO does not give you any discount on the HBO PPV's, either. Same thing with Showtime.

    Boxing in America is a luxury sport, from the fans' POV. That's one of the major reasons why in America you either love boxing, or you don't give the slightest **** about it.
