Wlad-Leapai Only Does 468,000 Viewers On ESPN

Numbers don't lie.

 

Any sports fan who never watches boxing would have switched the channel when Atlas started talking, when Leapai's ridiculous ring walk chant ensued, or at the very latest in the second round of, to a non-boxing fan, torturous boredom.

 

U.S boxing isn't very good for boxing.

The talent emerging isn't too special, nor is the popularity of boxing in US.

Europe and Asia - boxing is huge. This fight got 9m viewers in Germany.

 

is that good or bad?

 

Not even PPV at that . The fight was free!!

There once was a time when the whole world used take notice when the HW champion stepped in the ring.

Somebody please the the titles off him.

 

Ouch you can't even give a Wlad fight away for free.

 

This is only a few hundred thousand viewers less than Mayweather gets so the numbers are in fact quite good.

 

But but but.... Wlad moved around and punched...... he's not boring!!!

:rofl

But but but.... Wlad sold out the stadium in Germany.... he's not boring!!!

atsch

 

Article says that ESPN averages 1.4 M for that time slot.

So approx 33% of normal ratings.

 

Tyson Fury and Cunningham did 1.7 million.

 

Floyds fights cost 70 sheets a pop.

If Wlad charged that , he'd have ZERO views.

 

Lol precisely what I was thinking . Looks bad though considering ESPN is America biggest sports network

Fk it. Let's just bash wlad terrible figures , what else can we expect from a boring fighter in history's worst ever heavyweight era :good

 

More viewers than Mayweather. Impressive. Americans are dying for a champion at HW hence the numbers for Cunningham. The sight of mere midgets combing each others hair just wont cut it for joe six pack in the states.

 

no one wants to see a mismatch even if it is free
