    Per Nielsen, #HopkinsKovalev (which started REALLY late) averaged 1.328M viewers for 1st-time live airing on @HBOboxing.

    The #HopkinsKovalev figure makes it the 2nd-most watched US-televised fight this year behind only Chavez-Vera 2 (1.39M)

    Yeah, probably. Then nobody would have watched Mansour vs. Kassi! (not that anybody did anyway)

    Good fight = good ratings, you'll see how much ratings Stevenson pulls with his **** fight, his plan to make money backfired lol.

    Was Bethlehem card also promoted by Main Event? Maybe that's why they spaced them out.

    Stevenson vs. Sukhotsky isn't a horrible fight, but yeah, he is reaping what he sowed.

    It's also refreshing to see an honest fighter being rewarded for once in boxing rather than a weasel like Stevenson.

    Speaking of which, although it will be a huge drop in ratings and payday from Hopkins (and will invite some cherry-picking accusations) the fairest thing would be for Kovalev to give Mohammedi his shot and just get it over with, before looking to unify with Stevenson or chase the money.

    Nadjib has no chance but he deserves to climb into the ring and try.

    Yeah, Duva did mention mandatories in an interview so likely he'll be getting a shot.

    227k people watched it on the French Canadian sport channel RDS.

    That's pretty good.

    That sounds like great figures. Do you how many viewers Bute and Stevenson normally get?
