    Biggest viewing audience of the year. Impressive. Loma is reaching beyond the diehard boxing fan, like us.

    It was on ESPN, which is included in every basic cable package in USA. Unlike HBO and Showtime which require an additional subscription.

    Technically its not included in every package but even then that's beside the point. Not sure why you are even pointing that out unless you "want" the viewership to be poor...?

    On topic, this is good news.

    Im pretty sure ESPN is NOT included in every basic cable subscription.

    Those are excellent numbers either way. Something to get excited about.

    In comparison, GGG who has been on 3 PPVs and has been pushed heavily by HBO, biggest audience has been 1.3 mil.

    Great Job Mr. Arum and Lomachenko!

    Keeps winning and in the next few years he’ll be close to as popular as Joshua.

    It’s because of guys like Joe Rogan and Schaub, getting the casual MMA Crowd onto him.

    Always a good thing when great numbers turn out for a great fight. Not a back n forth battle, but a bout with a high level of skills on display & knockdowns is sure to bring fans back for Loma.

    Within the next two years Loma will be the biggest star in boxing. And with his popularity and friendship with Usyk... Oleksandr will be a close 2nd after he moves up and starts winning belts. Watch.

    The marketing around lomachenko is genius. I believe he purposely trains with UFC guys to win over some of that audience.
