    Still pathetic numbers , I'm sure GGG on showtime would do at least 700k

    I'm not sure the numbers they pulled but they had direct competition on HBO Latino by way of a PR vs. Mexican in the form Vazquez jr. against an undefeated Rafael Rivera. I would think it pulled at least 250k viewers away from them.

    I think this is a bigger problem with the state of boxing than just one fight. GGG's PPV numbers were disappointing. Cotto/Alvarez PPV numbers were fairly disappointment considering the expectations. Boxing ratings in general has been in a slight decline.

    MMA on the other hand seems to be on the rise. It seems like people were waiting for Mayweather/Pacquiao and then interest in boxing just slowed. Meanwhile, McGregor/Aldo did like 1.4 Million PPV, beating Cotto/Alvarez by a full 500k. That's 2 fighters in their prime taking on each other.

    Boxing on the other hand is just ****ing off fans left and right. Poor match-making and fighters ducking the best opponents available. There aren't any new generation fighters that can pull in fans like Mayweather or Pacquiao.

    The broadcast viewer numbers peaked during the undercard and dropped drastically during the main event.

    No one wanted to see Klitschko grab and lean on another small HW.

    And yet they have the audacity to ask for 8-10 million dollar paydays to face champions when they themselves are only contenders and getting this kind of viewership. Absolutely asinine.

    Since when did you two white (Schooling)guys start caring about TV views? GG's ppv numbers were more pathetic than those views, lmao. Quillin Jacobs was a 50-50 fight. GG Lemieux wasn't.:lol:

    :rofl You stupid dog-brained vegetable :patsch

    'Wladimir Klitschko isn't a draw in the United States? Tell that to the 17,056 at Madison Square Garden. And tell that to HBO, as the network just saw big numbers for Klitschko's return to the States last Saturday night in his win over Bryant Jennings.

    The bout between Klitschko (64-3, 53 KO) and Jennings (19-1, 10 KO) peaked at 1.742 million viewers, per Nielsen Media Research, and averaged 1.637 million viewers. The average for the entire show was 1.3 million. The co-feature between Sadam Ali and Francisco Santana averaged 1 million, with a peak of 1.134 million.

    This is back-to-back strong weekends for HBO's boxing programming, following the April 18 card that featured Lucas Matthysse vs Ruslan Provodnikov. That fight averaged 1.243 million viewers in the main event slot, peaking at 1.38 million, and it was going head-to-head with a Showtime broadcast featuring Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, as well.

    What seems pretty evident is that despite any claims to the contrary, Klitschko's name and the power of the world heavyweight championship does still matter globally, not just in Europe. The average viewership for this show was the highest-rated edition of HBO World Championship Boxing since June 2012, when Julio Cesar Chavez Jr fought Andy Lee in El Paso. That fight was also combined with the replay of the incredibly controversial Pacquiao-Bradley fight, giving it an even bigger bump.'
