    Lopez showed zero head movement and zero mobility. Terrible performance.

    Hbo doesn't track the numbers. The Nielsen rating system does. They also track showtimes.

    And empty seats do not count for or against in tv viewership.

    You often have to give a logical and cogent argument to back up your standpoint.

    Maybe Mexicans are hoping on Mikey's hype train(which would be great for the sport and great for Mikey's pockets!)

    or it could be that there was very little sporting wise the competed with the card and the numbers showed it.

    1) It wasn't rude of you to call Sanabria a "nobody"? I think it says more about your very limited scope of knowledge of the international boxing scene, exposing yourself as someone ignorant of anything not spoon-fed to you by a major US television network, than it does about the notability of Sanabria. I bet you thought Gamboa too fought a "nobody" a few weeks ago, when Darley Perez gave him a hard night despite casual fans like yourself having no previous idea who he was. :roll:

    2) That is his best result, and the next tier down includes nothing more than a few outer fringe contenders, domestic scrappers, and tough gatekeepers - the likes of Rufino, Saguilan, Navarette, Bangoyan, Okada, Barrera etc - but that doesn't make him a nobody. He was formerly ranked top 5 in the WBC as its Silver champion at 135 (and was in fact scheduled to be Antonio DeMarco's 2nd title defense after Roman, before getting replaced by Molina) and has been competing in 10- and 12-round bouts televised in Mexico for over several years. There is plenty of footage of him available. Not a top dog, as shown in the ring against Crawford, but hardly a 'nobody' (also shown that night, considering some are projecting Crawford based on his performances h2h to be a future division ruler with hardly anything on his resume). Remember, Crawford himself was by your apparent definition only very recently a "nobody" before he beat Prescott on national TV.
