[SweetScience]

Showtime has been taking a raping with no lube from HBO.

boxing is dead!!!!

It's very poor numbers.

kessler-Froch 517,000
Dawson-Stevenson 1,024,000


January 25, 2003 – HBO – Ricardo Mayorga vs. Vernon Forrest
Total average viewership of 3 million people (P2+) watching Live+Same Day.

February 8, 2003 – HBO – Shane Mosley vs. Raul Marquez
Total average viewership of 3.5 million people (P2+) watching Live

February 15, 2003 – HBO – Tim Austin vs. Rafael Marquez
Total average viewership of 2.8 million people (P2+) watching Live+Same Day.

UFC on Fuel TV this past weekend got 313,000 viewers and is available in 36 million homes.

HBO is available in about 28-30 million homes and did 1 million.

SHO is available in about 22-23 million homes and did close to 600,000.

Which one is dead again?

If Boxing is dead you're basing that on the fact that Boxing used to do 34,000,000 viewers on network when Ali was around. If we're comparing the numbers to that Boxing is dead and the UFC is a premature fetus on life support trying to survive with tubes in the ICU.

Back to this topic, people don't know WTF they are talking about. The SHO numbers are up big time, these are Super Six numbers for SHO and they didn't pay close for this card then what they were paying back then.

Ward vs. Froch 580,000 viewers
Ward vs. Ward 610,000 viewers

They have had 3 cards in the past year that break 1 million viewers when that was unheard at SHO since I've been following the ratings.

Dan Rafael tweeting the numbers has more to do with this.



Espinoza was styling on him and fat Dan is retaliating.

Well HBO has a way bigger subscribers base, but that being said Showtime owned them that night as far as fights go, and also as we tell people we know and people find out i expect Showtimes numbers to go up especially if they keep putting great cards like that together .

[DeadLikeMe]

I DVR'd all of them and when I came home Sunday morning I smoked a few bowls and watched all the boxing and then came and talked **** on here.

[Rome-By-Ko]

No surprise tbh,it's HBO..

[Pez]

Showtime has the better boxing cards now but HBO is still the superior channel overall. I don't think Showtime numbers are going to beat HBO's for a while. It's not like HBO boxing is dead, they still have good fights they can make with Top Rank.

Wow in a debate over which boxing network is better check hooks throws out neg karma?? Talk about sissy.

Oh and btw FNF has been better than Shobox all year long.

Yup, you know hbo boxing is average when you have to resort to fnf's to help them.

Still though, shobox on friday is greater than hbo's nobox on friday period!!

This can't be accurate because I heard that Floyd going to Showtime brough in like 10 billion new subscriptions.

That's why it made sense for them to sign him to a contract where they lose money broadcasting his fights right??

i'm not sure how many people buy showtime, but it's less than HBO.

there was also a horrible fight on showtime early on, with relative no namers in charlo and hopkins. that fight ****** worse than gamboa - perez, which also ******.

still, it wasn't a great HBO card and it did decent. boxing fans love boxing. i pay $20 a month each for HBO and SHO. my cable bill is well over 100 bucks.
