Kind of takes the shine of those who claimed Fury was pulling 3 million viewers on channel 5

kell brook doesnt pull great numbers, his fight against carson jones at a good time only pulled the same as khan did in the middle of the night against garcia

Promoters are crazy for pushing fighters like fury into the public eye, they are in poor fights, which rake in high viewing figures, and this is bad for the sport.

would also suggest that sky were probably right dropping international fights if they pull only around 74,000, shame for the fans but understandable. i know it wasnt the best fight but its the only example up there

Nice to see Home and Away is still going strong.

It would be interesting to see the boxnation viewing figures. Surely these would be lower than Channel 5 and sky sports, proving it marginalises the sport by tucking it into a corner covered by niche blanket.

If BT sport is free for BT customers, and there are more BT customers than sky sports subscribers (?) Would it not be better for promoters to strike a deal with BT?

Fitting that the appalling Brian rose has the worst figures of the lot..

Let's be honest like a politician ..If Strongy thought the figures were good he wouldn't have published them !!...

Still good thing about SKy though Is Boxing is available to the casual sports subscriber and his kids..

So plenty of fights for impressionable kids..

Where do you watch your brothers Broner and Mayweather fight, Truss ?

Cheers Rodders

Some seriously good viewing figures for boxing on channel 5, especially considering they were pretty average unadvertised fight cards.

As of October 2013 BoxNation claimed they have Just over 100,00 subscribers in their company fact sheet that they put to the market when they were to float.

Their claimed peak subscription was in 2012 at 150,000.

No wonder the price is going up..

Wow...

She's a beauty. Looks a bit filthy too. Only just realised she was in wolf of wallstreet. Cracking pair.

Was hard graft keeping the little fella down at the cinema when she was on.
