Khan does 1.5 Million views on ITV

Er what? I don't dispute the shows you listed are shit, but how are they racist? As for Khan and PPV, he should have never been on PPV in the first place, he was badly mismanaged by Warren, he should have been on terrestrial TV all the way till he became a World Champion, at least. I would have him fight two more times on terrestrial TV before he is on PPV again. Fully agree

Great figures, Beats garbage like 'Britian has talent', 'Pop idol' 'Strictly come dancing' which are racist shows anyway. Khan is at the PPV stage, I think he is sacrificing money for popularity by offering his fights for free on Tv. Er what? I don't dispute the shows you listed are shit, but how are they racist?

Viewing figures are BS. The BARB reporting panel is 5,100 homes. The panel homes are located across the UK and represent the viewing of all individuals aged 4 and over within the household (plus their guests) and return data on a daily basis from around 11,300 people. All digital terrestrial, satellite and cable platforms are represented, along with their analogue counterparts. http://www.barb.co.uk/about/faq?_s=3 So they estimate how many people are watching a TV show from what these 11,300 people are watching. There are over 61 million people in the UK and they say 600,000 watched it, that's around 1%. They got the number 600,000 because 1% (113) out of 11,300 people watched it. :rofl:

I think that's a pretty good number. Compare it to some Chad Dawson fights in the states that pulled only like 1.3 million or the record low Calzaghe V Dawson, Khan is doing well. I wonder what he pulled in the states. If he can keep it up he will be the next big draw in boxing. I think you mean kessler vs calzaghe. The viewer count for that was an all tome low for wcb on hbo.

600,000 is not bad but his manager sed that their would be up to 14 million lol

1.5 is Kinda crap. Yeah OK bad time and day, most people sleeping in the morning or going out. They need to do a fight on prime time tele to hit 6 mil+ Katsidis will make it damn exciting Its cos the fukers done no advetising. It was litterly 1 advert at end of fa cup final, that was it. They got this fight for practically free as well. Whats good is that Khan got 1.5 mill viewrs on HBO which is the most since Klit-Arreola. ESPN were really covering Khan as well on Friday night fights

But do you guys know how they judge views, 1view=One person going on to channel doesnt mean 1.5 mill people watched it, its free tv

:fing02: Good

people on saturday at 4oclock , majority were asleep . 10am - most people at work or still asleep . im assuming loads of people watched it on youtube and on itv website instead so it doesnt affect there sleep etc

ITV didn't even spend a penny to advertise/promote that fight as well!

They need to do a fight on prime time tele to hit 6 mil+ Katsidis will make it damn exciting Khan was hitting 6-10mil views on all his fights when he was on itv primetime. considering there was no marketing at all and the fight at 4.30am with a reply at 10.30am on a sunday morning, the numbers are very good. any Khan fight will hit 6mil+ primetime, Katsidas will get that fig to 9mil+

as far as the UK is concerned, they are good numbers.

there great numbers for 4am, hopefully ITV can keep showing his fights in the US

Pretty awful if im honest CBBIES owns it :D

To be honest tho 1.5 million views for 10am on a sunday is pretty good.

I wonder if it's enough for ITV and the Beeb to pick up more fights off Brits in America?

good numbers

That's pretty decent. If they get his next fight at home, then millions would watch it live.

Meh, that's not that great is it? I wonder how much Lennox Lewis Hasim Rahman got when that was on the BBC.
