Klitschko - Chagaev did INCREDIBLE ratings

[kayjay]

The RTL coverage was viewed in 11 million homes for a 58+ % market share (reported by fightnews). To give a point of comparison, that's bigger than an FA Cup Final in Britain.

I don't think this is especially good news for Wlad. He's handicapped by the fact that his challengers can only get a payday against him, and so never are motivated to build a resume against each other.

All the Klitschko fights do incredible numbers.

5M German viewers tuned in at 5am to watch Vitali take on Lennox Lewis.

That's not a very good comparison to be fair. The FA Cup final was on terrestrial television.

One of the FA Cup semifinals (Everton-Man U) this year did very good ratings during penalties: 8 million homes and an 44% share

I can't find any info on that. But ESPN Classic isn't likely to do a big market share.
