Your Welcome. Can I say that in a forum does that sounds kinda twatish :think **** It, I live for praise your welcome :thumbsup
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

But the fact of the matter is Harrison, Khan, Haye are the only fighters who can get these type of figures.
