    Fury-Chisora gets over 2m viewers. Mitchell-Murray, a great fight between two exciting fighters, gets less than 200,000. Gentlemen, welcome to how you turn a great sport into a niche one – put it on premium satellite or cable.

    Those figures are depressing.

    Any updates on this? Will we be able to get boxnation figures :think

    EDIT: Just looking now cant seem to find Hall v Mcdonnell

    McCloskey v Prescott 193k - Very impressive #2 on SS3 that week

    Again no figures for Smith Selby

    Sykes v Buckland 86k #8
    Also on the Sunday a Boxing special got 61k not sure what that is :think

    Again no figures on Matthews Rees

    Barker v Martinez got 33k on SS3 #7

    Unfortunately it is highly unlikely that we will be able to get those figures, Premier Sports still isn't listed on the BARB website.

    I will update the OP when I get a chance. There should be a few figures available now the Boxing season has restarted.

    Yep, and Frank is hoping for 100k people paying an extra tenner a month. Delusional.

    Right I done a little update of the OP with the latest figures, been a while since I done this so if I missed anything out let me know. Also just I can't get the BoxNation figures because they aren't listed on BARB.

    I think Boxnation might get about 50-60k suscribers.

    Really think the likes of Degale, Groves, Burns in fact all domestic fighters should get put on terrestrial. Raise the public profiles, then go down the ppv route. I know for a fact, if I mentioned the above names to most people I know, they won't have heard of them.

    I see that 3.5 mill figure wasn't validated.

    This is why I struggle to see how ****** will make much cash. And loads of those setanta viewers would have only got the channel because there was football on there all the time (like me)
