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.

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.

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.

That one first fight also not only paved the way for Groves, but it also put undercard fighters like DeGale, et al, to be put on a larger national stage and international stage moreso than what they did on their own.
Froch and Warren set that up perfectly. They sold the living fuck out of that drama post first fight and pre-second fight build up.
That can't be done again anytime soon. I doubt it. It was one of those moments.

This one did
Load of hype Froch v Groves did not desreve to be PPV. 24 hours sky hype and media newspaper propaganda. The worst thing would be that they think they deserve it for every fight like Degale v Froch.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
