Wilder vs Ortiz peaks at 1.2million

Wonder how much it does on PPV..

 

Good numbers

 

Good. I rip into Wilder plenty but mainly due to the fact he never faces real tests. He faced a very real test and he passed that test. He should be bigger than he is in America and has been making a hell of alot of noise recently. hearing ticket sales were not going great was a shame but it looks like hes made enough of a splash to get more watching on TV and he gave us an exciting fight.

 

Do those include stream numbers these days?

 

Ima watch that movie, thanks pal.

 

Couldn't sell out the barclays center and did less attendance than Thurman-Garcia last year.....

On PPV that thing sells like 500k maximum, probably more like 300k. Those numbers mean absolutely zero...

 

i dont know what to compare 1.1 million viewers to because i dont live in the us
showtime is a channel package you pay a monthly subscription for ?

not sure what uk boxing gets as a general rule
i see the ppv numbers but not normal fights
i know david haye got 3 million viewers on the obscure dave channel although i hve watched qi repeats on it .

the dilution of tv is a good thing gives me more choice 30 to 40 years ago we used to get the top 20 viewing figures in the paper every week and it used to be 10 million at the bottom and 20 million at the top
when you think there are only 26 million propertys in the uk that would have meant nearly every house in the country watching a programme

big uk fights then used to get 17 million viewers in the uk / i would imagine american channels must have dwarfed that figure then for ali fights

1.1 million if it is the best in 3 years is a good thing / but just as i said in another thread put joshua v wilder at wembley or ny giants stadium and make it a mega event

las vegas might make more money but boxing needs more fans and more exposure to the general public and laymen / las vegas does not and never will do this.

 

150,000 max

 

No.

 

And it only took 40 fights to step up the level of competition.

 

Thurman-Garcia was the largest selling fight in the history of the Barclays Center. Wilder-Ortiz was #2.

Every other fight held there since it opened is below that.

Thurman-Garcia also drew 5 million viewers on CBS. That fight was ridiculously received.

For Showtime, the Wilder-Ortiz show generated a great number. (Consider Joshua-Klitschko drew 659,000 viewers on Showtime.) Wilder-Ortiz doubled that.

But it should've been on CBS.

Still, on Saturday night, nobody seemed to be watching the HBO card.

Certainly, no one was commenting on it.

 

Still haven't developed a concept of time zones I see.

 

I think if he plays his cards right after this fight he can get a lot more exposure. He really needs a promotional machine that knows how to promote him because as the sole HW champion in the U.S. he should be getting much higher ratings, especially with his ridiculous KO percentage.


Hopefully the networks start taking serious after this win.
