Wlad-Leapai Only Does 468,000 Viewers On ESPN

? How so?

2.2 million for Mayweather...



Even Mayweather charging PPV gets more than everyone. :yep

 

That only means there is 2.2 millions nuccas in america who either spent all their life earnings on another mismatch or robbed some old people.

 

We will have to see what Arreola and Stiverne draw next week. ESPN wants to package the winner against Wlad in September which is why they bought the Wlad fight so late to showcase it.

 

it was 5 pm on a saturday
people are not sitting around the house on the weekend watching tv

 

And who do you suppose the titles should be placed upon? No Heavyweight will bring anymore popularity to the US.

 

On the first page someone said that time slot usually averages a little over 1 million viewers.

It's simple. Unless you're Pacquiao or Mayweather, no one is watching your fights.

 

Terrible fight - yes it's following the rules but seriously that should not of been made.

They really should have had Briggs come on as the afterparty event to box wlad. Might of been a bit more entertaining

 

HBO has the same drop-off when they air fights from Europe in the afternoon. Good match-ups like Froch/Kessler II suffer when aired out of primetime.

My guess is ESPN paid little or nothing for U.S. broadcast rights, so I doubt this number mattered much. I didn't see very much advertising in the buildup to this fight from any of their programming.

 

You love talking nonsense. Who told you that? The same people who told you HBO wanted to package Wlad and GGG together:nut

 

If Fury had the titles he'd fight every top contender out there in explosive ,exciting fights becoming the biggest HW in America since Lewis .

 

neither guy is from the u.s. and fighting in a different country, fighting at 5 pm on a saturday when people are outside mowing their grass, at the beach, on their boat....... and this somehow means anything in terms of a rating on a u.s. tv channel?

 

:nut

 

he would do the same thing as any ofther belt holder. 2 defenses a year vs minimum comp. he would blow up to 300 pounds between fights

 

@Tyson_Fury Apr 29
@Klitschko is a boring shithouse who picks easy fights. When I'm champ I want @BronzeBomber @BYJennings @KubratPulev @DavidPrice_1.

 

yep
then reality starts
will sign to audley harrison for the british super fight "the fans want"
maybe even rematch cunningham
but most likely first defense should he ever win will be against close to 40 year old Adamek. :deal
