End of the Channel 5 Boxing Experiment?

This

 

I think Ch5 were relying on FURY to get the casual viewer into boxing.
Like I said Fury is much well known to wider audience now than he was before the Chisora fight.
If you went out on the street and asked a number of people who Tyson Fury was then many more would be able to tell you who he was than before the Chisora fight.
Ch5 don't just want the boxing fan to tune in but they want the Big Brother audience too!

 

Hope they continue with it. I love seeing Al Bernstein on British tv as well. Genuinely nice guy

 

Fury said his next fight is November 12th, same date as Pac v Jmm I think? Seems to me that they've got another C5-Primetime double header planned.

 

A million is good for C5 no matter what the event. They'll be pleased with that, especially as a lot of boxing fans would have given it a miss.

 

That's not the point. How many other shows on C5 get a million? It beat big brother last night

 

Sounds like good figures for C5

 

As well as being totally honest and very knowledgable. An all round excellent analyst and commentator. I wish Sky had him.

 

if he fought rogan for the irish british and commonwealth it would have definitley pulled in better numbers. i kno a few people who switchd over and nevr switchd back after the blackout as well.

 

It got more viewers than Big Brother which 5 have invested heavily into.A million for Firtha is very good.

 

the black out will not of helped

 

Did me no harm:rofl:rofl

 

wasnt hyped like chisora fight.

 

there is a **** load of that pointless reality tv ***ness on right now isnt there? i see it in the papers but i dont watch tv for that reason, full of pointless reality tv ****s being ****s around other ****s........i download anything i want to watch so i dont have to see some wankers who i dont want to know being pointless ****s..........

reality tv killed television..........FACT

if all that shite wasnt on the fight would have got bigger numbers but stupid ****ing women and kids want to watch the pointless **** that makes the cartoons in their head flick the animations on the pages in the corner of their minds.

 

Funny thing is, I like many have moaned like **** about SKY & the boxing, "Oh please, get boxing back on terrestrial tv" & then I sat there, watching a blank screen with an odd star wars box set ad flashing on, phining my mate "is your c5 working?" & then the fight comes on, just in time to see Fury land a few big shots & the fight stopped!

Humbled me a little bit that, makes you realise how slick & professional SKY are, but its early days for 5, & I hope they stick at it, cos as Tyson Fury himself would say "Rome wasnt built in a day"
