Sky don't release PPV figures.

They have done it for Froch, I'm sure I've read his numbers somewhere.

They don't. It was estimated from another source that Froch-Groves did 900k or something but Sky didn't release any official numbers and never do.

Ah ok, fair enough. Any reason for this?

Be interesting to see estimated numbers for Hatton.

No idea why they don't release them. Hatton-Mayweather definitely did over a million though.

Yes ,he did, Eubank and Benn lead the way in the early 90s but by 1995, there was no bigger name than Naz. I think Eubank even fought on a Naz undercard lol

Indeed he did. The night Calzaghe beat Chris Eubank they were fighting on a Naz undercard.

I remember an interviewer talking about Naz fighting on Eubanks undercard and Naz just cut him short lol and dropped some knowledge. The guy has always been a character.

If a fight does really big numbers (British standards) then the numbers normally get leaked e.g froch/groves2 did 900k and Tyson/Lewis did 750k. As per Hatton his fight with Mayweather is the only fight in British PPV to do over a million (1.2) which was actually more than the American ppv numbers

Prince Naseem's discovery

Does anyone know how Prince Naz was actually discovered?

Did Brendan Ingle really spot him from the upper deck of a bus fighting off three larger boys in a schoolyard or did Naz's dad Sal simply bring him to Brendan's gym?

I know the general consensus is that he started boxing at 7-years-old.

Any help is much appreciated.
