    HBO is in 28 million homes.

    Nothing to debate.

    I posted a link form one of the largest cable providers in the USA. I guess facts don't mean anything to you. It's available in 127M homes in the world.

    read your own link smart guy. It says worldwide. HBO does not show boxing outside of the US/Canada.

    There are 28 million subscribers in the US. I can pull like 10 proper links.

    You are wrong...ADMIT IT...don't be a ***got. Anyone with a clue knows that HBO is not in 100+ million American homes, those numbers are for network television and some cable stations come close. Showtime and HBO are PREMIUM.

    I don't know what that is, American army TV or something? Well guess what that is not the local HBO. You think that there are 70 million homes on air bases watching boxing? :patsch

    Come on, even you realized that you are wrong when you started hiding behind the 'worldwide' term, which doesn't apply at all. Even if HBO showed boxing in 100 million homes around the world, it still only has 30 million in the US, where it's the only place that they would count in a TV rating.

    Whatever, you're stubborn or ignorant, but deep down you know that you just clowned yourself.

    I watch a lot of 'worldwide' channels and never once did I see a regional HBO (eg HBO in Europe) show any fights, they had a few exclusive smaller shows for Latin America but those were not shown in the US. The promoters sell fights to HBO USA/Canada or Showtime and then sell worldwide distribution to any local stations.

    This is ridiculous. HBO shows a lot more than boxing, and a lot of their subscription base aren't interested in it at all. The top showing HBO show this year scored 1.4m viewers.

    Only a dimwit would try to make out 1.1m viewers is not a good number for a boxing card.

    (The figures are for the american audience only- 28m)
