Boxing viewing figures in the UK

They haven't got anyone subscribing right now yet have been showing cards since September including the great card from NY on Dec 3.
I think people are going a bit overboard on the whole 'BoxNation need 100k subscribers or they are done for' routine tbh.
They are obviously being well backed by people behind the scens otherwise they wouldnt have shown what they have so far for nothing.

 

I'm sure the investors behind Boxnation have done the numbers. I can't see why they need to pull in £1m a month (based on 100,000 subscribers at £10 a month) to continue doing business.

 

The 1.74mil is average viewers across the programme. I believe viewing peaked at 3.5mil however not during the Eubank Jr fight

 

yes but those backers are going to want there money back eventually.

 

Ahh, Okay. Well you know these things better than i, Venus.

My apologies to Rob for having a little sly dig.

 

I'm sure that Frank will have looked at re-structuring the deals that his higher earners are on.

With Sky dropping the PPV (rightly IMO) he had to come up with something else otherwise they'd have been on the shelf.

Rob is right that the investors will want their money back, but they've got to be prepared to sit on it for a while and see what happens. If it goes bust, so be it.

If nothing else it should teach promoters a lesson about buying lads from the amateurs. It's nearly time for London 2012 and none of the Olympians are at the top of their domestic divisions, despite having been paid a fortune.

DeGale might be European champion, but realistically it's in name only
Saunders is at English level
Gavin and Price are below that
Jeffries..... ugh!

 

when those numbers came out i actually disputed them and people made fun of me.

 

Jeffires will be the only one thats seen a return on investment so far though. He is a genuine attraction in the North East and his deal will be less than Fwanks trio.

DeGale will have been a financial disaster for Fwank. On 6 figures per fight and only one 3 of those fights (Pro Debut, Smith & Groves) will he have generated money from specifically becuase of DeGale. Gavin even worse, he is on big money but has only gone backwards. Saunders was always a long term project and I doubt he is on as much as the other two.

Price is still and English title level. You can see Maloney seeing some return from him on 2012 though. He will sell well in Liverpool while at domestic level. Joe Murray has been handled horribally by the Hattons.

 

It wouldn't surprise me if he looked to cut DeGale and Gavin loose to be honest.

Neither will ever be big ticket sellers, and both are at the sort of age where they ought to be in their prime.

According to NO MAS, who was told this by somebody else.... if an Allegedly fighter loses twice whilst under contract he's got the right of termination - if the clause was built in of course.

I'm sure that with DeGale it was.

 

Hi Royalt0208

I want to see "Figures from Sky in 2012"
please update

 

Don't usually feel sorry for alcoholics, but if you think about it, who in thei right mind would throw away a world champion boxig career, all the cash and your freedom for a drink? nobody- he is obviously an absolute fruitcake.

 

Wrong thread?

Anyway, being an alcoholic doesn't make him a fruitcake. It just makes him weak willed. It's a serious disease that can afflict ANYONE. The double standards people have towards a seriously harmful drug like alcohol and the way our society sanitises it is just pathetic.

No one would call someone who had been afflicted with another drug addiction what they call an alcoholic.

 

i wanna see box nation figures

 

any updated figures?
