    Also have to take into consideration that the HBO card was only what an hour or 2 the Showtime card was 4 hours I can see viewers switching to HBO while awaiting on the main event from Showtime

    So you're saying Bradley is a bigger draw than khan. So if mayweather khan does better than Bradley PAC what's your excuse

    Considering HBO has 30% more subscriptions than SHowtime actually demonstrates that Khan did better. Also Khan sold out the MGM whereas Bradley brought in like 2 thousand people, Khan is a clearly a draw. Then you add the Sky numbers from all the UK fans, add the Al jazeera views from arabs and the PTV from ****stan you would have millions and millions of people watching, no comparison really.

    Why are people ignoring the fact that the 2 fights were on at the SAME TIME.
    And the showtime bouts started a hour earlier, likely promoting most people who have both channels to begin to watch that one first...like I did. I think that dug into the HBO numbers a bit.
    Also we have to check to make sure DVR numbers get tabulated. Because I taped the HBO fights since it came on after the showtime ones.
    Also x2 comparing total subscribers is kind of dumb. Boxing is a niche sport at this point so total subscribers is kind of irrelevant since the vast majority of them don't give a damn about boxing, as the HBO metrics demonstrate. Showtime is the Mayweather channel so I wouldn't be shocked if they actually had more boxing focused subscribers

    So you're saying there's an equal amount of subscribers on both HBO and Showtime, but people chose HBO because the fight cards are better?
