Damn these are awful numbers. Stevenson vs Bellow did 1.3m on HBO for comparison and Kovalev vs Agnew did over a million.

Dan Rafael
Saturday's #StevensonFonfara @SHOsports telecast averaged 476k viewers, as per Nielsen. #boxing


Al Haymons model of over paying guys when the ratings aren't there can't be sustained forever. Either the ratings need to go up or some of these guys are gonna need to go back to HBO. Even Hopkins numbers are down he did 1.1m against Murat last year and only 760k against Shumenov this year. Showtimes numbers are really ugly this year so far.

They were putting on killer cards last year and this year they are becoming more like HBO where it's more about the names and stealing dudes from HBO. While they're doing well to get those guys from HBO, they are hurting their fans in the short term. Think about all the great cards and matchups last year that weren't on PPV.

Even with good cards the numbers are down. Bernard Hopkins, Paulie and Peter Quillin all on the same card only 760k. Last year Hopkins fought Murat and a weaker undercard and it did over a million.

Its cuz Richard Schaefer and Al Haymon are so anti HBO that they don't realize how they are on the verge of drowning GBP and Showtime. Then to top it off Floyd's demands and turning Canelo into a diva too is just too much homie

That ref has always sucked. He had no control of that fight. Anyways Donaire was whooping him last couple rounds. The'll rematch and Donaire will KO him.

Here is the aftermath of those headbutts;


So I guess they didn't show the Darchinyan vs Walters fight? It was a KO of the year candidate

Whatever would've happened doesn't matter. A lineal title changed hands on something that was clearly let go so it would end in a decision. Again if Donaire doesn't get that knockdown that fight keeps going. And nah they didn't show them, I'm downloading the rest of the fights now and I'll watch them later.
