HBO's World Championship Boxing Numbers 2013

HBO responded in a big way in 2013, broadcasting some of the sport's top fights. HBO's World Championship Boxing main-event fights averaged 1.2 million viewers, while the total program drew an average of 952,000, according to the network's public relations department.




Miguel Cotto's bout with Delvin Rodriguez on Oct. 5 drew more than 1.5 million viewers and peaked at 1.7 million, according to HBO, making it the most-watched non-pay-per-view boxing event on cable this year.



HBO vice president of sports Mark Taffet noted many of boxing's other top attractions, including, Andre Ward, Sergio Martinez, Wladimir Klitschko, Timothy Bradley and Manny Pacquiao, all of whom fought live on the network in 2013.



"And you can't talk about 2013 without mentioning Gennady Golovkin, Adonis Stevenson and Sergey Kovalev," Taffet told Newsday.



Golovkin, Stevenson and Kovalev, all budding stars for the network, emerged as fighter of the year candidates. Golovkin has built a large following. But Stevenson was an unexpected surprise for HBO, scoring a first-round knockout of Chad Dawson last June.



Mikey Garcia, Guillermo Rigondeaux, and Terence Crawford all are rising stars Taffet said will add to HBO's "continued growth."



"In 2013, we wanted to identify the next generation of boxing stars and present them to our audience," Taffet said.



When Mayweather inked his six-fight deal with Showtime, the question for HBO executives was who would carry the network into the future. HBO answered that by featuring and promoting many fighters.



"We listened to what our boxing fans told us," Taffet said.



Other fighters Taffet referred to as "fan friendly" include Mike Alvarado, Brandon Rios and Ruslan Provodnikov.



As for 2014, Taffet expects the network to start strong.



Pacquiao will make his return to the U.S. in an HBO PPV bout on April 12, light heavyweights Lucian Bute and Jean Pascal will fight on Jan. 18 and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. will take on Brian Vera on March 1.



As well as HBO has done this year, challenges still remain. Mayweather's bout with Canelo Alvarez drew 2.2 million pay-per-view buys. Mayweather himself earned $40.8 million for the fight.



It's hard for HBO to find a fighter who can come close to matching those numbers right now, but Taffet believes that his company's depth of quality fighters will carry HBO going forward.



"We have a great starting lineup, bench and bullpen," Taffet said. "This is the deepest group of fighters we've worked with in many years

Mayweather Still King Of PPV

The fight, which Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum placed at the Cotai Arena, Venetian Resort, Macao, Macao, S.A.R., China, reportedly did between “490,000 to 510,000, according to ESPN. This is way lower than what was expected. That’s even lower than the 660,000 buys that Pacquiao’s fight against former Top Rank stable fighter Joshua Clottey brought in back in 2010.

Arum said to ESPN“It was be somewhere in the area of 500,000, and that’s what we’re going to wind up doing. It means 490,000 or 510,000, something like that…I think it was a success. We performed better than I thought.”

According to Rafael, there are people in the industry saying it didn’t even hit 400,000 PPV buys. It’s interesting how Arum is trying to put a positive spin on what is clearly a tremendous drop off in PPV buys for Pacquiao. His fights have been hitting over 1 million buys, and here he is hitting 400,000 and Arum is saying it’s a success? I don’t know who’s brilliant idea it was to stage the fight in Macao, but if I was Pacquiao I wouldn’t want any part of having another fight outside of the U.S. if that’s going to be the buy rate.

The drop off in PPV buys might not just be because of the fight being staged outside of the U.S. It also could be tied into the opponent that Pacquiao fought. By picking Brandon Rios as Pacquiao’s opponent instead of a popular fighter, it likely hurt the PPV buys in a big way. If Pacquiao is just going to be fighting Arum’s stable fighters – Tim Bradley and Brandon Rios – he’s probably not going to be bringing in a lot of PPV buys. Pacquiao probably needs to be able to fight the other welterweights from other promotional companies like Golden Boy to in order to keep his PPV buys up at 1 million.

Another reason for a big drop off in Pacquiao’s buys could be that he’s lost his last two fights, and isn’t seen at the invincible fighter he once was. Getting blasted out by Juan Manuel Marquez can’t be good for a fighter’s popularity. As a fan, I wouldn’t see a fighter as a PPV fighter anymore if I knew that he was knocked out in his last fight and beaten by decision in his fight before that by a welterweight who was fought to a standstill by Ruslan Provodnikov.

The news earlier today that Arum wants Pacquiao’s next fight in Las Vegas, Nevada rather than in Macao, China, had me wondering whether Arum had seen the PPV numbers and they weren’t very good. But now with Arum giving a ballpark number for what the numbers are, it seems pretty obvious now why Arum is bringing Pacquiao back to the States.

Arums says he’s going to Zou Shiming on Pacquiao’s undercard for his next fight in the U.S, and then televise the card in China. I’m wondering if Shiming will be the co-feature. Arum is going to have to start working on beefing up the undercard for Pacquiao’s fights, because the last undercard was woefully inadequate in terms of interesting fights. You had the mismatch between Pacquiao and Rios in the main event, and then co-feature was the boring fight between Evgeny Gradovich and Billy Dib. That was a mismatch and end it boring. Then there was the heavyweight match-up between Andy Ruiz Jr. and Tor Hamer where Hamer quit after the 3rd round. Then there was the sick mismatch between Zou Shiming and a raw fighter named Juan Tozcano. Shiming looked terrible, but the guy that they picked for him to fight was far, far worse. Arum needs to be putting quality undercards together if he wants to help strengthen PPV sales. You can’t have every fight on the card a mismatch and still expect strong PPV.

PPV start in Schuylkill County Pa. 1948

The company was started in 1948 in Mahanoy City by John Walson, who owned a General Electric appliance store. At the time, the surrounding mountains in Schuylkill County made over-the-air reception from Philadelphia television stations difficult. Walson, who was interested in selling television sets through his store, solved the problem by building an antenna on top of the mountain overlooking the town. He initially ran a cable to his warehouse and then to his appliance store, using boosters to enhance the signal. Along the way, he hooked up neighbors to the antenna system.[2] Although there are others who have laid claim to the honor, Walson is often recognized for having built the first cable TV system in the United States.[3] Until Walson's death, the company was known as Service Electric Cable TV, Inc., which was based in Bethlehem.




In early 2011 Service Electric commenced offloading cable systems from its Service Electric Cable Company affiliate. The cable system in Wilkes-Barre and vicinity moved operations to Service Electric Cable TV & Communications, which is currently based in Bethlehem. The cable system in Mahanoy City moved operations to Service Electric Cablevision - Hazleton Office, which corporate is currently based in Allentown.



On February 18, 2011 the Service Electric Cablevision affiliate acquired CATV Service Inc. based in Danville, Pennsylvania. As of 2012 CATV Service operates only by name through Service Electric Cablevision.

Bert Randolph Sugar and Aaron Snowell

In general, any discussion of the “greatest” starts as a discussion at the local tavern between  two of the more knowledgeable savants of the sport. The subjects range anywhere from a four-rounder some-one witnessed at the local emporium down to, and including, a recent to do between two attendants at the corner parking lot. From there it is a short hop, skip, and jump to the “greatest” fights of all time.

But most participants, no matter how many fights they have personally witnessed or what they know about “the sweet science,” come totally unarmed for battle, and soon begin manufacturing names and fights, unsure of their footing or their facts. Names like Dempsey, Louis, Robinson, Ali, Tyson and some others come out easily enough. But against  whom? And when?    “ Bert Randolph Sugar” and "Trainer Of Champions" Aaron Snowell

Schuylkill County,Pa. Hall Of Fame Boxing Champion

Billy Speary is hailed by many as the greatest fighter to come out of Tamaqua, Schuylkill County and had the awards to prove it. He was champion of his division (flyweight and bantamweight) in National A.A.U. competition from 1937-39, then fought five years in the professional ranks.


Sunday Independent, April 7, 1985

Where do we begin the Billy Speary story? Billy Speary, three time National A.A.U. boxing champion (actually he was holder of 15 titles as an amateur). Billy Speary, professional prizefighter who took on four world's champions (while they held their crowns). Billy Speary, the greatest fighter ever come out of Luzerne County.

Simply put, Speary, the kid from West Nanticoke, fought the best and defeated the best. He died much too young, at the age of 49 (on October 24, 1967),so they'll be saluting him posthumously when he's inducted into the Wyoming Valley Boxing Hall Of Fame April 19 at the Wilkes-Barre American Legion. It's the local Hall's second annual fete and along with Speary, ex-middleweight Neil Miller and the late Jim McCarthy, veteran sportscaster who passed away March 20, will be honored.

But, back to Speary. We rummaged through old newspapers last week and uncovered some stories about his start in the boxing game.

Seems as though Speary's brother, Wesley, was a fair-to-middlin' boxer himself so was inevitable, perhaps, that young Billy would follow his older brother to training quarters. Billy was a skinny, 90-pounder, attending Nanticoke High School when he began training under the watchful eye of Art Thomas. He had been sickly all his life and thought training would build him up.

But, there's a yarn in the Philadelphia Inquirer which tells the best (it was written after he became A.A.U. champ). It follows: "Three years ago his older brother taunted him about being a "scaredy-cat".

That's the reason Bill Speary, 19-year-old Tamaqua Pa., youth holds the 112-pound championship after retaining his crown in the Inquirer AA Diamond Belt boxing finale Thursday night at the arena.

Well, if you are only a 16-year-old skinny kid of weighed about 100 pounds, you too, would have resented an older and heavier brother pounding the tar out of you.

Every time brother Wesley Speary, also an amateur boxer, tagged Bill the younger boy would duck to a corner or hide his face between his hands.

Bill Speary didn't relish the likes of his brother's punishment and put on the whining act until the older boys said, "Scaredy-cat."

"That was too much for me, so I walked right into his punches and took a good beating. But it was the best thing that happened to me. From then on I made up my mind to become a boxer," said Flyweight Speary as he related his baptismal experiences.

Fortunately for Bill, Arthur Thomas moved to Nanticoke, across the river, about three years ago and thus began an alliance that has clicked both ways. Thomas works in the coal mines and his spare moments are spent developing young amateur boxers. Thomas took Bill Speary in hand and they join the Tamaqua K. of C., haven for amateur aspirants in the coal district.

But Tamaqua is 40 miles from West Nanticoke, so Thomas and Bill Speary make for their town fire house every night, and there in the glowing warmth of the engine room do some boxing."

From these humble beginnings, Billy Speary would go on to earn the title of champion.

In 1937 he entered the Diamond Belt district eliminations in Tamaqua - and the rest is history: three times national A.A.U. champion, not to mention his three international championships in amateur ranks. He simply ruled the roost in the 112-pound and 118-pound ranks during his reign as champion.

Speary always had his sights set on winning the Olympics, but because of the outbreak of hostilities, leading to World War II, the Olympics were called off in 1940 and that's when he decided to turn pro.

As a pro, he fought the best in the world, including sizzlers with bantamweight and featherweight champ Harry Jeffra, and Joey Archibald, Jackie Callura and Willie Pep, the latter three having held the 126-pound crown. In three bouts with Jeffra, the featherweight champ, Speary won the first in a 10-round decision at Wilkes-Barre on November 19, 1940 but an overweight clause saved Jeffra's title.

Speary retired from the ring in 1944 but performed in a referee's capacity in many bouts in the Wilkes-Barre-Scranton area.

When he died in 1967, he was living with his family in Bethlehem, where he was employed as a welder for Bethlehem fabricating, Inc.

It's been 41 years since Billy Speary last entered a ring to do battle-but we'll never forget him. And, they'll be remembering him Friday, April 19, at the Legion. Billy Speary, the boxing legend.

Under Card

Lightweights Michael Perez (18-1-2, 10 KO’s) and Lonnie Smith (14-4-3, 10 KO’s) fought to a disappointing majority draw after the fight was stopped in the seventh round on an accidental head butt incurred by Perez. Perez knocked down Smith in the second round on a left uppercut but Smith rebounded nicely to tighten up the scorecards. Scores were 67-65 for Perez with two identical scores of 66-66.




Junior middleweight Eddie Gomez (13-0, 9 KO’s) badly wobbled then stopped Javier Gomez (14-11, 10 KO’s) in the first round of a scheduled six. Javier went down after being rocked on the end of a left hook. He rose on unsteady legs and referee Arthur Mercante Jr. initially let the action continue but then promptly changed his mind before any further punches were exchanged, stopping the fight at the 1:17 mark.

Former Olympian Marcus Browne easily dispatched Josh Thorpe in a light heavyweight fight. Thorpe went down in the first, rose to his feet but absorbed a few body punches after taking the original count, prompting the referee to call a halt with 18 seconds left in the round. Staten Island’s Browne is now 3-0 with 3 KO’s. Thorpe is 1-3.



Junior middleweight Frank Galarza (9-0-1, 5 KO’s) knocked Guillermo Ibarra (7-2, 4 KO’s) around the ring for two rounds before stopping him with a single body punch. Referee Arthur Mercante Jr. waved the fight off after Ibarra went down on the shot, his second knockdown in the round after previously touching the canvas on the end of a strong combination. Time of the stoppage was 2:19.



Junior featherweight Claude Staten Jr. won his professional debut with a four-round unanimous decision against Mike Hill. Staten knocked down Hill (0-2) in the first round. All three judges scored the bout a shut-out at 40-35.



In a cruiserweight fight, Steve Bujaj had his hands full in winning a four-round unanimous decision against Zeferino Albino. Bujaj (9-0, 6 KO’s) controlled the pace of the bout from the outside but Albino (4-16-3, 2 KO’s) fought better than his record suggested and made Bujaj work for the win. All three judges scored the fight 40-36.

BOXING WALKER LAW 1920

The Walker Law passed in 1920 was an early New York state law regulating boxing. The law reestablished legal boxing in the state following the three-year ban created by the repeal of the Frawley Law. The law instituted rules that better ensured the safety of combatants and reduced the roughness of the sport. The law limited matches to fifteen rounds, required a physician in attendance, restricted certain aggressive acts such as head-butting, and created a regulatory commission, the New York State Athletic Commission.
The first main event conducted under this new law was the Joe Welling vs. Johnny Dundee bout. Sammy Nable vs. Bobby Hanson possibly was the very first bout ever conducted under the law.
