Stevenson-Fonfara averages 672,000 viewers

HBO has FAR more Subscribers than SHO.

Not surprising, especially for a NON PPV event where you have to be subscribed to watch.

 

Both networks have approximately 29 million (HBO) and 22 million (Showtime) subscribers, respectively. With that in mind, the above reasoning doesn't equate to the reason being Stevenson's debut had less viewers.

 

Stevenson Vs Hopkins will do over 1 M.

 

HBO has 114 Million Subscribers Worldwide http://venturebeat.com/2013/02/06/hbo-has-114m-subscribers-a-new-2-year-deal-with-george-r-r-martin-no-fear-of-netflix/

Shotime has 22 million worldwide, as it's only available in the US

HBO has 32 million subscribers in the US

 

Fonfara made a lot of fans that night

 

The numbers are only for America. Keep in mind, Stevenson vs. Bellow was a doubleheader.

 

That still doesn't help your excuse when we're talking stateside viewership.

 

SHOtime is only available in America.

 

First it wasn't only on SHO. And second, I doubt that's actually true.

 

And Stevenson/Fonfara was a decent triple header. I enjoyed the broadcast, except for Charlo/Ota. That was pretty boring.

 

I don't know why.
He showed himself as a straight up average fighter who can't take medium power body shots and was not able to take advantage of a fighter who clearly gasses after the 5th round.

What really got exposed is that Stevenson is everything Hopkins said he was. As guy with slightly above average boxing skills with a big punch, poor stamina and a very weak defence.

 

He lasted longer than the ring LHW champ and the former IBF LHW,

 

First, It wasn't only on SHO, but these numbers are only for SHO

And second, that's actually true. SHO is only available in the US.

 

A Typical Canadian.
