The replay of the Canelo Alvarez- Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. fight drew 769,000 viewers this past Saturday night on HBO per ShowBuzz Daily.
Canelo’s May fight against Amir Khan drew 767,000 for the replay on HBO. He drew 459,000 HBO subscribers for his September 2016 fight against Liam Smith. His 2015 fight with Miguel Cotto drew 901,000 subscribers for its replay.
Payout Perspective:
The lower ratings probably did not impact the PPV buys as it is reported that it will be over 1 million buys for the Cinco De Mayo weekend fight. The ratings might be lower than the Cotto fight for the simple fact that news got around that the fight was a walkover. In addition, it was on a night with UFC 211 on that night.
