    That has always been their mantra, and I doubt anyone who works with/for Sky would give out that information as it would be a breach of their contract.

    So, as I said, I sincerely doubt those numbers are real - first and foremost because I know nobody at Sky would release those figures and only very people in the organization know them. Secondly, because I don't think it did 900k. or close to that.
    Interesting take, LacedUp.

            Great but cant not nearl compare that to Pac or Floyd, if Pac - Bradley 2 & Floyd - Maidana were 28 bucks they would have easily sold 2 mill + on its own...

            ...but im not taking away anything from Froch & Groves, love to see boxers not named May & Pac doing it big

              America's population vs Britain's population.....

              Also can Yanks buy PPV stand-alone? I've always wondered this. We pay a subscription for Sky and then have to buy PPVs on top of that.

                I just saw Eddie Hearn on IFL saying some speculation were reasonably accurate.

                    So no 900K at $15 a pop? Too bad.
