I think Sky will be happy with that,it`s a decent number about what I would of expected for Frochs first ppv and the first ppv in a couple of years.I think the fact the fight was really good and got a great response from the fans and the media would also be a big plus point for Sky because Haye-Harrisson did great figures but untold harm to the ppv model with people feelling ripped off.

Yep exactly, the fact that the fight lived up to its billing and was a watchable war means that momentum builds for the future and helps salvage some credibility back for Sky PPVs after the Haye debacle.
