How big is Mikkel Kessler in Denmark? His fight peaked at 1.137 million viewers, a 66 share of all Danish TVs in use. Amazing.

WOW that's huge. 1 in 5 Danes tuned in.....to give you an idea it would be like 60,000,000 Americans tuning in to watch a boxing match.

hell yeah!

he looked very sharp as well

he's got a few more fights left in the tank

the championship rounds of his fight with carl froch are some of the best rounds i've ever seen

when i heard he was seeing double regularly i thought his career was over

evidently he's done seeing double
or he aiming for the middle lol

Kessler is the biggest brand in danish sports. Rivalled only by Caroline Wozniacki, but there's no way she'd get ratings like that.

Yes. Free on public service tv. To put things into perspective the danish football team played a qualifier on another (admittedly small) channel.

Kessler is huge.

Its just crazy Kessler is sorta like on a smaller scale to Manny in terms of national popularity

**onechance87** · 06-07-2011, 08:59 AM
