    That list is wrong - the cartoon boxing bout between KSI v Logan Paul poked most of that list last week

    People who complain about boxthing being a minority sport can see from those figures that only a tiny % of the UK population watch it on PPV and the PPV fights are mainly out of sight out of mind for the public.

    That tiny % are PPV mugs fleeced by professional conmen such as Toe Haye

    Terrestrial TV can show boxing. They just ain't interested.

    True but the figures are very comparable to the USA which is incredible considering the population difference and their huge history with the sport.

    Some of the numbers are massively out and it’s only a small percentage of the PPV’s from history.

    But the recent ones are the highest watched as SBO is killing it.

    That's false. Froch-Groves, Haye-Bellew 2 and Mayweather-Mcgregor given Sky confirmed it broke UK PPV records

    That tells you more about the deluded people in this country, which Hearn has managed to brainwash, rather than the good o'l USA.

    It would be interesting to compare PPV numbers with known CC numbers.
