    Anyone else excited about this? Because I am. This is great news for boxing, we need to get new boxing fans into this sport and I feel this show is helping.

      What were the viewing figures for the original?

      And how good is 20 million? That'd be top of the charts by some way in the UK at present, but over in the States...?

              Cheeky ****er.

              I meant - as I'm sure you know - that the first was on HBO(?) and this is on ESPN.

              Both series were/are on ITV in Limeyland. (mainstream channel).

                here in the US the first season was on NBC which was the worst channel it could have been put on.
