Kovalev-Agnew draws 1 million viewers

That's excellent, considering Cedric Agnew was a virtually unknown boxer.

 

The viewers clearly tuned in for slick Black G Agnew not robotic, slow kovalev.

 

damn good for 38-1 odds hahahaha

 

Where were the times that a good scrap up like that pulled 30 million viewers worldwide, and the bigger ones even a couple of times that?

Big events like Tyson vs Spinks were watched by virtually everyone in my class, even if it was broadcasted at 3:00 am. If you hadn't seen it you got to hear it for about a week after the fact.

 

I'm sure I recall seeing someone post the numbers for the super 6 final between Carl Froch and Andre Ward a while ago and they were a lot less than that, like almost or even 50% less. Froch is Mr Excitement, and no one knew squat about Agnew.

 

I'm shocked

 

To be fair, Froch/Ward was on Showtime, which has a much lower subscription rate than HBO (though I think they've narrowed the gap a bit recently).

 

Ward vs Dawson only did like 1.3 and HBO gave that the "PPV treatment". They did a 'Face Off' and a '2 Days' feature for that one.

 

This

Good for him

 

impressive. nobody knows agnew

 

Blame the likes of Floyd Rigo Ward and Vasquez for killing the sport :blood

 

It would be hilarious if Stevenson-Fonfara did worse.

I'd love to hear the excuses from Stevenson/his supporters that Kovalev's not a big enough draw yet.

 

Stevenson/Fonfara will be lucky to draw 700K

 

Kovalev will soon be outdrawing Ward just like GGG. No wonder he has been talking crap about both of them.
