That's good especially for that weight class. Estrada-Cuadras also had 12m viewers in Mexico. Hopefully they bring the Estrada-Rungvisai match to LA with another good card.

HBO is only able to put on cards like these because they don't pay the fighters high purses. The whole triple header only cost them a lil less than 1.2 million.

Here are the payouts.

Srisaket Sor Rungvisai: $170,000
Roman Gonzalez: $600,000

Naoya Inoue: $182,500
Antonio Nieves: $35,000

Carlos Cuadras: $62,500
Juan Carlos Estrada: $65,000

There's a reason that HBOs only competitive fights shown on regular HBO are from the lower division. They get paid peanuts.

GGG, Crawford, Canelo and Ward were getting paid millions to fight mismatches on HBO.

Good for the weight class, but not especially great considering how many top fighters they had to put on the card to get those numbers.

On the bright side, these numbers might justify getting another stacked lower weight card in the future.
