This was mentioned in . Kind of sad this is all it gets after all the hype.

Just because it was a big fight wasn't going to change the fact that SHO has far fewer subscribers than HBO.

to be a bust.Shows andre ward is no star and maybe never will be.

Ward will just go to HBO and become a star on that network. SHO doesn't build stars.

True, but just in general it's still depressing that one of the biggest fights of the year had so few viewers.

After so many setbacks and controversy, it lost its true momentum like a year ago. I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread when they first announced it but by the end it was watered down to me.

I watched it. the concept was great for the super six, but with people pulling out. fights being postponed and all that. it was doomed for a anti climatic grand finale. if the fighters would've fought more than twice a year and the tournament would have ended after a year and a half or two.. it would have been much better.

Even brandon rios fight against acosta on showtime had more viewers.
This is pretty sad.

I just don't see it. All the credit to Ward, he won fair and square and deserves to be the champion, but his style is pretty boring and most casual fans would not like to see him often. In fact I don't see many fans buying his fights, and as a top boxer his fan base is pretty poor.

[PEBBLES!]

But, but, I heard that the "general public" was super interested in the Super Six and Andre Ward and who he'll fight next??

I heard that Andre Ward was a household name and that the unworthiness of Lucian Bute to share a ring with him was the stuff of dinnertable convo the nation over??
