By Jeff Aranow: Last Saturday’s fight between IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs) and Dominic Wade (18-1, 12 KOs) may not have been a very competitive one while it lasted, but the fight did bring in good ratings on HBO Boxing.
According to ratings for the event, Golovkin-Wade had 1,325,000 viewers on HBO with a peak of 1.388 million viewers. These were the best ratings for regular HBO since former WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto fought Daniel Geale in June of 2015.
