    I have updated the opening post with the top 10 viewing figures that Boxing has gotten for 2011 so far.

    Just a quick note for the week ending 6th February that the minimum figure to get into the top 10 of Sky Sports 1 was just 92,000 which is very low for Sky. Booth-Arthur did not even get into the Top 10, which means that it got less than 90k viewers, that is a very poor figure for Sky and it goes to show that poor shows will reflect in the ratings.

    Cheers for the updates as usual interesting we have got off to a fairly slow start to the year the prizefighter format does also seem to be lagging slightly now though still 100k+

    Will be interested to see how the figures hold up with Franks shows coming up
