How many Americans tuned in to froch vs groves 2?

[Mark TKO]

Does any one know as I can't find out anywhere.
I read that 900,000 uk fans paid for it on ppv

really where did you see that figure ? That's impressive

And the reason why Khan v Brook has to happen on a similar scale

[Fenster]

The HBO average viewing figure was 700,000 with a peak of 830,000. Bear in mind it was an afternoon show not primetime. For context - It beat the primetime card of Stevenson-Fonfara (650 av 800 peak). Froch-Kessler rematch, which was in the same HBO slot, peaked at 490,000 viewers.

Some blocks of seats were closed off because of visibility issues. 10,000 on the pitch alone. For context - that's more than what's expected for Fury-Chisora yet they're fighting in an arena that holds 20,000.

Fenster - you saying Chisora Fury has only sold 10,000 seats ??

[holmcall]

I sure as hell did!

Apparently not even close to that, It was only set up for 10,000, you can still get seats anywhere, the sales are so poor Warren has added 16 fights to the undercard.

Neither Fury or Chisora have any fanbase (compared to big stars like Haye, Froch etc)

If you go on eventim you get a view of the arena on the night and half the seats are being blocked off meaning only 10 000 seats have gone on general sell and having just lookd at the seating plan I'd estimate about 6000 tickets have been sold so far. Having said that Haye - Fury had sold out easily and the ppv sells in the UK were close to 1 million.

don't talk to me about Haye-Fury !!!

Let's be clear- Groves's fantastic showing the first time around is what sold that fight. British fans, and followers of the belt around the world, saw this as a momentous changing of the guard. Changing from Froch to Groves...

We kinda/srota "missed" the exchange from Eubank to Calzaghe. But we sure as hell didn't wanna miss it if Groves had magic, once again.

This is what selling a fighter is. Froch let him into the first fight, but it was able to set up a second fight, of epic proportions, and have possibly put Groves in a situation to make heaps of cash from anyone else he fights from here on in- win, lose or draw.
