Does anyone know the PPV numbers for the Mirovic Fight and the Mundine 'Fights'?
Just curious

Probably less than 2.4 million...

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

i too was curious about this and emailed main event to ask them once...they replied saying that it is confidential and they will not release the stats.

ie, not many.

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.

insider knowledge?

i wrote to pay tv to ask for a reasonable cost for this fight between 2 never was hasbeens of $7.50 same price as a dvd from my local video shop and PPV told me to fornicate off. I guess they showed more aggression than we will witness on fight night
