    Is it just me or are these figures quite impressive for a fight that wasnt that big and was hardly advertised and was shown on ITV4, it shocked me but maybe reading "boxing is a niche sport" so often has got lodged in my head.

    read this in the frank warren section of the sun if you were wondering - and yes he did have his usual pop at another fightrer - this week Carl Froch and David Haye

    Warrens a real peice of work, this week he's managed to have a pop at Haye and Froch (who he doesn't promote) and big up Khan and Cleverly (who he does promote).

    The rag needs to wise up and get a decent boxing column rather than just giving Warren a free platform to gloat and whinge.

    I'd be very surprised if it got anywhere near 60,000 in reality. That figure must be horse-****.

    I didn't even know it was on ITV4 until the night.

    Yes, I don't belive those numbers, but we can use them for the various ESPN / Bunce campaigns if they are true. The figures aren't out on BARB yet. These are the previous week figures for ITV4 - nothing got 600k

    It was on in our club in Wales. A lot of people interested in quite an exciting fight. Lots watch the boxing if it's on around 8-11pm and not ppv.
    The news is getting around about Cleverly now.

    If an old Rambo film that started at 11pm on a week night got 500k surely its perfectly possble that the boxing got 600k starting at 8pm?

    I noticed last week Warren didn't mention Gatti, there was no tribute on the Khan card either was there?

    ACTUAL boxing and the Bunce hour are two very different things.

    Id rather campaign to get more boxing than only Bunce..

    I don't know why people are so surprised, try flicking through the freeview channels or even sky and see what sort of shite is on, if you are the sort of person who's interested in sports then you'll probably watch it as there's nothing else on unless you want to watch some **** with Graham Norton or a hole in a wall or whatever piece of **** the BBC decided was better than showing David Haye.
