    Crawford got 1.1 million fighting a nobody.

    Over on scene for source.

    Got to wonder how much longer Gbp will be exclusive to sho.

    I think we see their boxers back my January.

    Seems like the numbers are fabricated or they did extreme promos. Hbo has had decent to weak main events and undercards. Just look at the fights ahead. Showtime with GBP will put hbo numbers to shame.

    GBP fighters will go back to HBO once showtime stops paying them more. GBP knows that showtime gets less viewers. Showtime also knows this.

    Showtime is attempting to invest in building their boxing brand, hoping that they become the #1 source for boxing so even if they are losing money now it will pay off in the future. This is also why Floyd left.

    its not that there are more subscribers. there's only a little bit more. Its just more subscribers subscribe to HBO for the boxing and have historically done so.

    With that said, it was a free weekend for hbo.

    1. Rude. No need to resort to name calling.

    2. Please inform me why you disagree? Who has he beat besides a washed up Juarez?

    This. The card was led in by the premier of one of the biggest movies of last year.

    man, that was a phenomenal fight to watch.... not sure why JM try to match up against Mikey...

    EXTREMELY bad match-up for his part lol
    The dood is a strong offensive juggernaut, but has average defense at best, and an average chin at best.

    Trying to match-up against a sharp-shooting Counter-PUNCHER? Man, thats the LAST style you would want to fight against with those downsides.

    Anyhow, it made a great fight to watch, and his *****-ass got seriously smoked out of the water!!!! Time to retire lol

    This :deal. Also, the fact that HBO is releasing the numbers for EVERY SINGLE boxing event they've had since the split with GBP means that HBO is in fact suffering/losing viewership. I suspect these numbers to be largely inflated. If you watch a replay of the fight, you can see half of the seats in the arena are empty. 1.3 million my booty butt cheeks

    You'd be a fool not to recognize how badly HBO is getting shitted on by SHO

    Someone should advise Showtime to inflate their numbers, cause they're absolutely pathetic. Wasn't it like 500k for Maidana Lopez? Or at least prevent them from leaking like they tried for the ppv.
