What did Murray-Golovkin do?

More than I expected! Hope Carl returns and draws more viewers in.

We'll never see the free to air television numbers that Benn-Eubank drew ever again though. Not unless something incredible happens. FFS even Andy Murray winning Wimbledon in 2013 drew over 17 million people.

And considering it was more or less competing with a Tyson Fury show, I think 2 million is a pretty good number.

I don't like posting on boxing forums anymore due to the painful level of self destructive negativity in the fan base but the people trying to say this was bad are way off. It was the most watched show on the channel during the whole weekend and had the highest total audience share for UTV in all of 2015 so far.
