    Serious point here- how does this stack up to other programs:

    1-On ITV4?
    2-On all ITV channels?

    In the past I've ended up arguing with bints who want to watch Britains Got Celebrity Talent Get Me Out of Here (or whatever its called!) when I want the boxing on in one of my locals.

    Yes but there were 50 people in my local all there for boxing(well khan) and no-one had heard of them.It just goes to show that boxing fans are 10 a penny but true boxing fans are rare indeed.Although i shoudnt moan too much as it gives me a chance to look knowledgable for once and no one can argue back:hey

    Bah!! Its easy to get the TV for Khan, Hatton, Calzaghe and now Haye but the real test is when a Jamie Moore fight clashes with the final of Britains Got Talent!!!

    That separates the men from the boys.....;O)

    One further point of interest here.... Warren is blowing the trumpet that Clev got 600k viewers when Frank himself wasn't even promoting the show.

    Something to ponder.

    This proves my theory. Boxing more then any other sport even football is a sport where if you like sports and you see boxing is on and there is nothing else to watch then you will swich on and watch even if you don't know about the fighters.
    I'm sure the TV companies know this but I wonder if the problem is the price that the promoters and fighters are asking for?
