Alvarez-Smith draws 459,000 HBO subscribers

[Ruthless-RKO]

The HBO replay of the Canelo Alvarez-Liam Smith fight drew 459,000 HBO subscribers on Saturday night according to Sports TV Ratings.
The replay was the only fight as there was no live event to go along with the fight. It drew another 216,000 viewers in the adult 18-49 demo.

Despite the big crowd, the early indications of PPV sales appear to be less than 300,000. However, there is a report that the event was seen by 18 million viewers in Mexico on free television via Azteca 7.

Notably, Alvarez’s fight this past May versus Amir Khan drew 767,000 HBO subscribers on the replay and 339,000 in the A18-49 demo. His Miguel Cotto replay drew 901,000 HBO subscribers. The Cotto replay was aided by a live fight while the Khan fight stood alone.

Is that good number for a replay or bad?

If the numbers that you've quoted ring true, then the HBO viewership figures are poor (excl. Mexican TV). I'd wait for the Nielsen numbers to be published before drawing conclusions.
