Alvarez vs. Kirkland - "Just shy of 2.3 million"

Canelo is Jesus

He resurrected boxing after 7days

 

Fact: UFC killed off Boxing

 

Good point. Didn't think of that.

 

This is what a massive event like Mayweather vs Pacquiao does. As long as a massive audience is brought in, while many will leave to other things, many will also stick around and might even get more interested with the sport. Everyone starts off as a casual.

 

It definitely had a lot to do with it. The record breaking numbers there set a new standard of numbers/viewers in the sport.

 

The ratings should've been higher. The replay probably hurt the ratings by putting some the viewers to sleep like Kirkland.

2015 is sick!!!

 

So much for the death of boxing.

This is down to May-Pac and Alvarez. They increased the awareness for boxing, and Alvarez is also a PPV attraction and benefited from the extra exposure that boxing got from the massive May-Pac episode. Boxing is very much alive and Canelo is a worthy PPV attraction.

They're paying attention now.

Forget this death of boxing bull****.

Boxing is alive.

 

How will boxing ever survive

 

that's a non factor

 

Scar got owned.

 

Mayweather-Alvarez II has to happen.

The dollars are legit.

It's really really obvious now.

 

The Floyd-Manny replay on HBO did 1.18 million, so Canelo basically doubled it. Strong number for the replay, A++ number for live bout
