A total of 774,000 viewers watched Davis-Gamboa through various platforms. That figure includes those that tuned in live on Showtime, through On Demand for initial replays and via Showtime’s live streaming service.

Wilder-Breazeale attracted a total of 1,100,000 viewers live on Showtime, via On Demand for initial replays and through Showtime’s live streaming service.

577k average, the new 'he's boxing hottest draw and ready for PPV'

[walter5]

Woof, between Jermall Charlo and Gervonta Showtime couldn't even hit a million viewers combined.

Will showtime be in boxing next year?

Ha! Yeah
Not quite ready to host a PPV on his own back just yet.
Davis Vs Loma would do the trick, can't think of another LW match up that would warrant it though.
Or maybe that is the only matchup I would pay for.

Are you familiar with typical Showtime viewership figures?

It seems those that posted comments to this thread don’t.

[margaret thatcher]

I am, lol that these are some ppv hottest draw in the sport numbers

I am, lol that these are some ppv hottest draw in the sport numbers

What figures should he have achieved then?

[margaret thatcher]

If 577k is some burning hot awesome number these days it says something not too good about the state of the sport's popularity in the US

Higher for sure if he were really the hottest draw in boxing

You’ve not provided your target numbers nor have you supplied figures comparing his stats to others that competed on Showtime.

Do you simply guess?

[margaret thatcher]

Adrian Broner did like 400k more, half a million viewers isn't some elite, hottest draw in the sport stuff. If Showtime's numbers keep shrinking and the totals keep getting smaller that just speaks to less people interested as well

Do you think that Tank is showing the viewing popularity of 'the hottest draw in the sport'?

Boxing's popularity in the US is pretty abysmal.

Ya, seems that way, 500k seriously getting hyped up as some great red hot, hottest in the game number

Huge numbers, such great drawing power

Davis wouldn't do very well on PPV. Not in America. Partly the cost of PPV and mostly the lack of interest.

Once again, are you familiar with Showtime’s typical viewership figures?

I’m going to keep asking the question to force you to educate yourself.

[margaret thatcher]

Yep

Do you think Tank is the hottest draw in the sport

Ya., seems to be a major lack of interest. Around half a million is even getting hyped now. Not long ago you had a guy like Broner doing close to a million on Showtime, and anything under a million on HBO was disappointing. Now Jermall and Tank do less than that combined and it's hyped as hot sh!te.

[margaret thatcher]

PBC! PBC! PBC!

Let's chant it together EO mate

[margaret thatcher]

They had been talking up this one as a PPV card before , but decided not too. I'm guessing they'll try to put Tank on PPV next year

In America it seems when the HW"s get hot, then interest returns to boxing overall. Used to be Olympic stars would get the hype, but we haven't had many in years.

Can't imagine Tank doing well on PPV, even against a Loma level guy. not in the US. The UK is another planet when it comes to boxing.

[margaret thatcher]

I'd guess they might try to make him vs LSC for a PPV. Don't think he'll face Loma, perhaps not ever.

[Enlightened-One]

Yep

Do you think Tank is the hottest draw in the sport

I keep asking your to quantify your opinion by providing viewership figures that Davis should be achieving on Showtime, but you adamantly refuse to do it, because you CAN’T!

Reading your comments mocking Gervonta Davis’ viewing figures on Showtime is much akin to someone that knows absolutely nothing about the sport of boxing mocking Pernell Whitaker’s legacy, simply because he didn’t punch as hard as Mike Tyson! It’s utterly absurd!

It’s all about context and knowledge!
