Comments Thread For: Froch-Kessler 2 Airings Get About 1.1 Million Viewers

[The Hammer]

Andre Ward vs. Chad Dawson did 1.3M viewers on HBO.

Froch vs. Kessler was shown twice and only had 1.07M viewers on HBO.

I think Froch needs to try some humble pie.

Don't be ridiculous.

The fight did well on PPV in the UK as well as in Denmark, and was also shown in many other countries such as Germany and Russia.

Plus the crowd in London was MUCH bigger than the feather-fisted Son of GOAT is capable of drawing in Oakland.

Ward's gate was like 6-7k? Froch-Kessler did 18k? Yea I'd say so...

people are starving for fights on HBO

Word is that Froch-Kessler 2 generated 300,000 PPV buys in the UK and 60,000 in Denmark.

I heard that The danish PPV sales was the best ever. Better than Kessler-Calzaghe.

The truth^.

It's so funny to watch the European hyper-nationalism as it plays along. Hey guys - nobody is judging whether or not it was a success for the fighters, Dutch, English, or anyone else over there. This article and this thread is speaking about whether or not it was a success for HBO only. And for HBO, in America, it was a failure relative to Ward's last fight which drew significantly more viewers in half as many airings.

Chalk up another win for HBO...

Everyone is repsonding to the exception who thinks that Ward is a bigger pull than Froch mate because he managed 100,000 more viewers in his home country.

Most of which probably tuned in for Dawson to be honest, if we went on worldwide figures then it's obvious Froch would win straight away.

I think something says it all about the popularity for Ward vs Froch and thats in the ringwalks. Andre Wards is better than I fought it'd be but pretty quiet for such a big fight.



and then compare that with



Makes it obvious where the fight should be really, and that Froch is a much bigger star.
