Any news on the numbers?
I read a BBC report that said 800,000 earlier in the week.
I heard David Haye say it sold 1 billion worldwide.
Not sure if I should believe him though ;)
I'd say that number is way too low ;DQuote:

I didn't pay or intend to pay, thankfully, as I didn't get back in time to watch the Groves fight.
800,000 would surprise me.
The BBC report I read actually said 700,000 sorry, but I have read somewhere since 800,000 (maybe the mirror or Sun). I think we can get the idea though from these 2!
How many people actually went to the fight?
I'd guess around 20,000.Quote:

I went and there wasn't a spare seat in the building and I think the capacity is just short of 22,000!Quote:

Still, sounds like decent figures for a UK PPV though.
I don't even know anyone with a 3D TV yet so i'm not sure about that. Haye is quite a big draw and a lot of people WANTED to see Audley humiliated. I think a Haye-Klit fight would do over a million!Quote:
