probably, but its a serious question. Just wanna know how many people buy the local stuff.

I myself am thinking of getting Mundine/Taylor just so my mates and I can have an excuse for a beer.

We get to laugh at Mundines pseudo American accent and laugh at the antics that go with it. AND if Taylor wins,unlikely as that is, we get to laugh at 'the man' getting beat by the biggest has been in the game.
Its win win

The closest the public can get to Subscription TV (aka Pay TV) ratings is via this site:

But here you only get percentages not the actual numbers.

But it is worth a peep just to find out what's popular on Pay TV. One would have a guess that the Hoppa versus Big Bob stoush would have drawn 5/8th of the proverbial against the total numbers of viewers switched on that night.

The reason they won't give figures is because their sample size is extremely small. I can tell you Pay TV has less than 20% penetration in Australia.
