That is truly amazing, considering the circumstances surrounding this event, not to mention the opponent. I'm guessing seeing GGG was without PPV, was the allure.

GGG has always drawn over 1 million on HBO

Not saying he didn't fight on non-ppv event, just that it was a free opportunity to see him. How much was the PPV in USD's for GGG/Canelo?

Last time GGG was on regular HBO was vs. Brook but that was an afternoon showing. Prior to that was Dominic Wade, that also averaged around 1.3 million.

Since Brook, GGG was been on PPV (Jacobs and Canelo).. So it was nice to see him back on regular primetime.. I don't think regular HBO even averaged over 1 million for a fight in 2017.
