Vitali-Adamek draws 10million viewers in Germany (51% Market Share)

[Medved]

10 million Germans watched Vitali for FREE.

10 million Americans are going to pay $100 to watch Mayweather fight Victor Ortiz.

The Klitschkos finish second again. Ouch, that's got to hurt a man's ego.

Germany has 80m people, 10m of those saw it.

America has what, 400m people? and 1m are going to watch it? And you wonder why Boxing is dead in USA and American fighters cant draw more than 500 people. Because you need to expose it to a big market.

When was last time that a fight had 40k people in USA?

Oh it was the Mexicans coming out for ******* and Margarito. and before that? .... .... ..... ..... 50 years ago?

You are exaggerating. No PPV has done even close to that in Boxing.

You idiot. Mayweather Ortiz hasn't happened yet.

Well done guys
1 PPV = 10 people
1 million ppv buys = 10 million people

Always funny watching boxing fans downgradde and **** on the sport they follow even when it's doing great

MMA fans will believe a lie so long as it's good news, boxing fans invent lies to destroy good news

I can say same thing about RTL channel, its not like each tv had 1 person watching, more like 3-4. So thats like 40m people.

40m > 10m

MORE EXPOSURE, when was last time you saw a huge image on FOX/NBC/CBS that a American Fighter won?

If you go to RTL.de they have a huge picture of Vitali right under 9/11 Memorial on front page

Boxing in america is dying because greedy promoters dont put anything back into it and it doesnt get big Exposure to the mainstream.

There are tons of kids in Germany who are growing up and say, I want to be a boxer like the Klitschko's since they see them everywhere, thats how people get into boxing.

But when you have no exposure people dont know anything about the sport.

^ Nielsen research shows people tend to get into groups for PPV events, so they worked it out that every 1 buy works out to around 10 people watching

If boxing promoters wanted to save boxing they just need to put one Pacman and one Mayweather fight onto network TV, and stack the **** out of the card with their best young prospects; Then they can proddle on back to PPV but those young guys would have a **** tonne of exposure for themselves

They need to do pac-floyd on NBC ABC or FOX with a huge undercard.

It will create so much publicity that half the country will tune in. Stack it with champs, Khan,Donaire,Angulo, etc and you will see what happens to boxing in USA, it will start being more popular.

But Promoters are greedy and dont want to invest, cuz you know Im gonna use all this money I have when ill be dead in 3 years.
