    Per Dan Rafael

    Apparently 5th biggest audience of the year and a huge increase over his last fight.

    Stevenson-Kovalev next year in Bell Centre could fill 20,000 and maybe a half-decent PPV number.

    Great stuff.

    Good to see exciting boxers like Stevenson, Kovalev and GGG all getting 1 million plus viewing figures.

    The fans want entertainment and knockouts, not pitty patty boxing exhibitions.

    Kovalev vs Sillakh did 1.25 and peaked at 1.3.

    Huge numbers

    Good to hear that people seem to actually know what's good.

    The fight card was excellent and deserved every viewer it got.

    Agreed.

    If the television companies focused on exciting all action fighters that go for knockouts rather then these pitty patty runners then boxing would be a huge sport in America again.

    HBO and SHOWTIME need to focus on these boxers in future:

    1. Pacquiao
    2. Provodnikov
    3. Brandon Rios
    4. Marco Huck
    5. GGG
    6. Kovalev
    7. Adonis Stevenson
    8. Lucas Mathysse
    9. Amir Khan
    10. Mike Alvarado
    11. George Groves
    12. Carl Froch
    13. Tyson Fury
    14. Deontay Wilder
    15. Derek Chisora
    16. Tyson Marquez
    17. Amir Mansour
    18. Ali Raymi
    19. James Kirkland
    20. Alfredo Angulo
    21. Roman Gonzalez
    22. Juan Estrada
    23. Mikey Garcia
    24. Carl Frampton
    25. Leo Santa Cruz
    26. Takashi Uchiyama
    27. Danny Garcia
    28. Keith Thurman
    29. Saul Alvarez
    30. Julio Chavez jr

    Have missed out some but Win or Lose these boxers listed always bring the fans entertainment and value for money.

    Those are good numbers and probably better than expected. I wonder how much of those numbers are Stevenson/Kovalev and how much is from the Pacquaio replay.

    Probably a little of both but most important factor is that it was free.:bbb

    For anyone curious about the business side of things and how that may play into future negotiations, that card and the GGG-Stevens card both outdrew Ward-Rodriguez.

    The Stevenson-Bellew card did the same as Ward-Dawson.

    Bellew has huge drawing power. I can't talk to anybody who doesn't ask about this next fight. He's closing in on Mayweather.
