Channel 5 get close to 3million viewers for Fury vs Chisoa

Boxing back on non sky

 

lets have it right, sky need a true domestic rival to sharpen them up..

i hope 5 can step up and do the ****, we all want boxing back on terestrial tv its good for the sport....

with a bit of luck this will give sky a kick up the arse they need imo.

 

if it could peak at 2.9 on channell 5 what could it have on itv1 or BBC surely the must take note or is this just becasue it was a Heavywieght title one of orignal wieght such as featherwieght , middlewieght

 

Most sports fans I know love boxing when they are able to see it, these figures prove that, take it back from the pay channels and make it a mainstream sport like it used to be, the average man in the street does like boxing, but sometimes it has to be laid on a plate for people, terrestrial TV does that

 

exactly. Just look at Germany.:good:deal

 

Cesc Fabregas watched it. He said on his twitter that he met Chisora and Del Boy told him to watch it

 

i wish del boy would have punched that little **** back to ****ing spain the no good wanker sack of **** ****.

**** off cesc your a dick you should have ****ed of last season cos you never done **** all you little bellend, go on **** off we dont want ya....

judas ****.

 

9 goals, 17 assists says otherwise, Arsenal out of top 4 when they lose him and Nasri.

4-0 and you ****ed it up :thumbsup

 

Excellent...lets hope 5 can get more boxing

A peak of 2.9mil, an average of 2.26mil.

They were hopeing for 1mil so thats a very good sign. Its 5x what they normally get on a Saturday night at that time.

 

this has already bee n coverd elsewere ,please delete

 

That is great news

 

great. it was a real good fight aswell, a good night for boxing after all the recent dissapointments.

 

This must of had a good effect on primetimes buyrate as well...

Problem for the future is fat mick has lost just about all of the decent fighters he used to promote..

 

This was the most watched fight in quite a few years, which tells you everything. The importance of terestrial coverage to a sport like boxing can't really be over-emphasized. What's on regular tv dictates what gets put in the papers and what is talked about across all other media.

If Ch. 5 continue to be involved the challenge is gonna be maintaining that standard in terms of the level of fights. With Henny there's not much else to work with.
