Anyone have access to the figures for Calzaghe, Hatton etc promotions over the last few years.

I think those figures will be in the public domain somewhere, there are people who record statistics for viewing figures, probably in an book or on-line somewhere. I'd suggest asking at your library, they should be able to tell you.

Dont suppose it'd come under the FOI act would it ?? nothing so simple as to just e-mail them.

I did a thread a while back about the top ten fights of 2004 from the barb website, but as Cannibal pointed out the figures are a bit random.

there must be something available which has an archive of all the TV viewing figures, however it would probably be about 5 years behind.

I dont leave my phone line in, there is no fuse between your phone line cpnnection and the sky box, therefor any power surge down the phone line will blow your box <ahem>. Also, sky retrieve info pnce a month, i owe £40, I was booking movies / boxing by plugging the phone line in to book then unplugging, they cannot retrieve the info out of the box to bill me but i cant book more box office without phoning up.
