    Ah right I thought you was making a stand against primetime, refusing to buy there feed. Fair enough. I understand what you mean about the commentary, so much better on HBO and more impartial, Primetime will be all up Floyds ass as to promote him for further bouts lets face it there not gonna show anymore Ortiz fights. I guess i'm just a sucker I feel by paying for the PPV i'm helping keep the sport alive, but maybe in fact i'm doing the reverse, by feeding the greed of Primetime i'm preventing those who aren't willing to pay from viewing, what they beleive should be free. It will be interesting to know the numbers this does compared to Mayweather against say Shane or Marquez on sky.

    Hey Venus will you be releasing the figures???

    I have mentioned before Primetime do not release figures, it is down to the rights holders whether they release figures for events, you will see Primetime have never released any figures for events and the only ones that have been publically released have been published by the rights holders

    Don't give me that Venus come one I wasn't born yesterday. You can release audience viewing figures for YOUR channel. What's so bad about releasing the figures, we all know that Khan V Mcloskey did well (due to skys promotion) and Zab fight failed due to no promotion. You can surely let us know how many view this saturday/sunday.

    Primetime have never publically announced figures for any of our broadcasts, Primetime do not purchase rights to an events and only broadcast on a revenue share basis with the rights holders. As such the results of any broadcasts are confidential and any release is purely at the discretion of the rights holders.

    The only publically quoted figures were released by Khan Promotions after the first Khan fight.

    The Zab fight in no way failed and the numbers were very similar to the McCloskey fight. I cannot comment on the exact number as that information is Khan Promotions to decide whether to release or not.

    The release of figures for this weekends broadcast will solely be at the discretion of Golden Boy Promotions.

    Venus thats a lie. In the press release for the judah fight, primetime stated that they got 60,000 views for the mcloskey fight. A primetime press release, with the figures on it.
