Froch v Groves = 900k PPV buys

[FlatLine]

That's pretty darn impressive. I thought it lived up to the hype as well.



Now go fetch me a spot of tea...

how about cobra beer?

[I.R.I.E]

That's awesome. Froch is King!

£16.95 if booked in advance, £21.95 if booked on the day of the fight.

900K is amazing numbers considering the UK only has 60M people and there were almost 100K in the stadium watching.

although 60M people for a island as small as the UK is a massive amount - america only has 320M, less than 6 times as many people as UK but its about 40 times bigger

Not at all the same as doing 900k in the US when your ppv is much cheaper and u aren't competing against numerous other fights on ppv throughout the year. Its Apple and oranges.

are all your PPVs on at the same time? if not stfu nerd

No...if only your PPV's were priced like ours everyone would be better for it. Less primadona boxers who cheery pick 1 fight a year, they would have to fight more regularly and you could watch more PPV fights.

exactly!

population has nothing to do with it, what is important is the number of Sky subscribers, only 10 mill, half that with HD, almost 10% of ALL PEOPLE WITH SKY, watched the fight...legally, that's impressive numbers, which ever way you want to cut it, with 80k people in the stadium to watch it live.

Without a doubt the biggest boxing event of 2014.

It doesn't matter if they aren't at the same time. It's a stretch asking ppl to pay $60-70 a few weeks apart. There are many who don't and can't afford that. Now when u are having multiple events throughout the year many fans will pick the event that appeals to them. And its nice how u ignored the fact American ppvs cost over twice as much. Don't be an ignorant idiot. U make clearly flawed point. Just accept the flaws. No need to be a child about it.

Isn't that what I just said. And what's a "cheery pick?"


P.S. Nigel Benn is a F A G

My bad I read it the wrong way around. We are on the same page.

I don't care if you like Benn or not...I don't need approval. I know he was bad ass.

Great figures!
