No idea but I was surprised that quite a few of my friends talked to me about the fight yesterday. That usually only happens if Hatton or Khan is fighting.
Same here surprisingly. Everyone of them, without fail, asked me what was the 'weight issue' people kept talking about - shows what a **** poor job Sky did of educating the causals.
i also had many friends who aren't too interested in boxing watch the fight, seems mayweather has attracted the casual fans here in britain
Yeah, I had the same experience. A couple of people who I didn't think payed attention to boxing, mentioned the Mayweather fight, and I was like "erm...ok". First time thats ever happened, TBH.
My sister was at work on Saturday night and she said that everyone was talking about the fight. I was quite pleased to hear that.
yeah same here, they all asked me " is he the greatest ever now.... i reckon he is" lol can tell they dont know any history except hatton and joe calzage(more because hes on strictly)!
I think a lot of people would have got the Sunday morning repeats which is probably why a lot of casual punters are talking about the fight. It being free to air (ish) seems to have made a noticable difference
I think quite a few watched it....... Went to see my Mum on the sunday and even she said 'did you watch the big fight last night then?'......:scaredas: That Bolton ****er was talking about in Radio 1 apparently
Let's hope Sky realise that Boxing is popular when you deliver it's superstars to our screens. Sidenote: Get Cotto/Pacquiao on Sky Sports(not Box Office) in November.
Same my friends and others in school were talkin about the fite this is very irregular cos i dont know many people who are actually that into boxing in school execpt meself so maybe sky will take these ratings and decide to buy more big fites...well i hope so anyway
