The ratings r in hbo beats showtime but rigondeaux does bad ratings

It's pretty impressive hbo beat out showtime.
Do you think rig should catch heat for the ratings dip? Do you think hbo will put rig back on a main event?
And overall what do you think about hbo out doing showtime?

HBO should beat Showtime every time. They have 40% more subscribers. People don't want to watch Rogondeaux because he sends the average boxing fan to sleep. HBO didn't want to show him as a main event after the Donaire fight anymore but they were forced to by the shortage of options now that GBP fighters are on Showtime.

They were forced in my opinion because Rigo beat Donaire and they would look bad if they were giving Donaire dates and not his superior. As much as us purists want to applaud Rigo's perfect boxing, his style doesn't sell to the masses. Until he starts taking risks or knocking guys out that he's dominating, he shouldn't headline cards. He should be in supporting roles.

Rigo has to win and keep earning. Entertainment comes against better opposition. He is exactly like Floyd.
