Klitschko vs leapai has terrible ratings on espn

[Robbie Barrett]

Wasn't advertised or hyped at all, they just picked it up at the last minute because it was available. Unless you were checking your TV schedule constantly you wouldn't know they were even airing it in the US. Not surprising.

His European ratings were off the charts though

Those that tuned in didn't check the schedule. 66% of the viewers that normally watch ESPN at that time did check it.

Wlad has a history of terrible ratings in the US.

And him being a foreigner has very little to do with it, look at the nice ratings that Golovkin and even Kovalev get. Not to mention Pacquiao.

Did Shannon Briggs have anything to do with this? lol

[Bigg Rigg]

Klitschko turned off so many ppl with his performance vs Povetkin that this doesn't surprise me one bit.

[SlySlickSmooth]

Nobody aside from boxing fans gives a **** ass about Klitschko in America.

[KingTito]

Not incredibly surprised here.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Man do not do it to yourself...it was a terrible fight against a 5'11 250 pound truck driver...i mean dude was F- class...****ing horrible..it was an insult that he was a damn mandatory...dude is horrible

It was not a brawl. Leapai tried for about half a round, gassed, and stood still for the rest of the fight while Wlad punched him.

Damn never mind lol

Not a surprise given how crappy he performed the last 2 times he was on live in AMerica.
