    I didn't say it was Pianata's fight. I said it was a Klitschko fight. Unlike HBO, other networks consistently show all of Klitschko's fights. Even then, 2 of Vitali's last 3 fights were shown on HBO and Vitali still holds the record for having the highest ratings for a HBO boxing broadcast :hey

    The links work when you cache them but I can find another source that backs up mine.

    To call my data non-credible considering that these statistics are available nearly everywhere is laughable.

    That list is bull****.
    It says the fight was on Sky.
    Sky dropped Wlad after the Mormeck farce.

    Haye/Chisoa was also given free to air.

    Well hell I'm sure the NBA and NFL aren't popular overseas either, thankfully we have our stars here and those guys have their stars, American fighters are much more relevant than any fighter that will ever come out of Europe deal with it...

    And if you think only a million people watched Mayweather v Guerrero then YDKSAB, this fight was aired in theaters, sports bars and fight parties all across the US...while the Klits fights are free for anyone to pick up a remote and tune in, no one cares about the Klits here on the grand scheme of things and when it comes to boxing America has the final and only say so as to who will go down in history as the greatest, you mad?
     
  8. comparing floyd mayweather to wladimir klitschko is like comparing pablo picasso to a good local artist. it should never be done. floyd's the stanley kubrick of boxing. who would wladimir be?

    Yet he barely makes a fraction of what Mayweather makes...sad.

    TKO 6.

    You can't compare PPV's views to just Views, your numbers will be distorted. Even if Mayweather vs. Guerrero only did 1M PPV's, I'm quite sure that number is a lot higher if you tally the total views. Think your a little too quick on the draw.

    There was a line outside my local pub at 9.30am to watch the Floyd fight.
    Wlad was not televised at all. ESB said it was not worthy of VCash or a fake bet.
