    Not the best of fighters but who cares? It's Audley Harrison. And everyone remembers the spats between Audley and Danny Williams on BBC back in the day, when Marvin Hagler and Nigel Benn used to take the piss out of them.

    Calzaghe-Lacy had 2 million watching.

      Audley Harrison couldnt sell **** all on the BBC thats why they dropped him, it was ITV's promotion making out its going to be the best heavyweight fighte ever at peak time that got those figures, no one gave a **** about Harrison two years on after he won gold.

        Mate, just give it up.

        Audley Harrison is a household name. He's going to get more viewers than ****ing Joe Calzaghe

          Clearly, Calzaghe's performance had a major impact on the British public, with viewing figures of 4.5 million on ITV for the Lacy contest, in spite of its early-morning screening.
          at 2am, thats a draw...

                Yes, Gareth Davies is making it up because he's a warped ****er who says Hatton would draw 90,000 to Wembley

                Nobody else other than Gareth Davies says there were 4.5 million watching, everywhere else I've read says 2 million

                  The only link that says 2m is boxingscene, I will choose telegraph over that thank you, Hatton would sell 90,000k in wembley if promoted right, hell 10,000k travelled to Vegas and there was more like me that wanted to. Man City has 38k attendance on average, almost everyone one of them would want to go coz its in the UK, more who aint a Man City fan would make the rest of the numbers, who are boxing/football fans.

                    Look mate, every single source, every paper, said 2 million were watching Calzaghe-Lacy - this is a known fact, and you know it too

                    And when Hatton sells 90,000 tickets above £2.50 I'll eat my hat

                      Hatton-Oliveira sold 90,000 PPV's, Hatton-Tszyu sold 170,000, Hatton-Maussa 130,000, and I'm not sure about Collazo and Urango but I do know Urango PPV sold less than the previous three, FWIW
