whats the record

my view on the khan/barrera fight is a little jaded cause im from bolton, but everyone ive spoke to is either buying it or watchin it

IS THIS FIGHT GOING TO BREAK THE RECORD ?

not a chance in hell mate

his ppv figures are terrible - fact

vs barrera though i can see him getting around 250k maximum

hatton vs mayweather had well over 1 million buys in this country

to be honest i didnt think it would beat that one, but it wont be far off especially with the early tee off

id be shocked if it didnt break the top 3

think you have to remember there has been many big fights on ppv before khan , eg: bruno , tyson , holyfield , lewis , hamed and hatton , de la hoya

im sure the prescott one did between 25-40k

if it reaches the top 10 id be suprised mate

im talkin britan here, not US

unless a brit fighter (bar tyson) is involved it either isnt ppv or it gets rock all views

naz yes

hatton v PBF yes

but i cant think of many more

it will beat hatton v maussa/urgano no doubt

im talking britian aswell as many of the above fighters have had thier matches as ppv in the uk

i dont think any Lewis (bar tyson), dela hoya or holyfield will beat this

this decade i can only realistically see PBF v Hatton beating it

again my view is jaded being from bolton, i dont think we will ever no, cause they dont release viewing figures....but it will be up there in my opinion

someone on here will find out in the next few weeks

i love to see list of fights that beat it with viewing figures

i couldnt name 5 fights in the last decade that would beat it (if i had to lay cash on the line)

again im only guessing

I don't think it will do all that good, for a PPV the advertising on Sky has been quite low. It wasn't announced it would be on Box office till quite late (Sky seem to be having the doubts that we had about Barrera showing). I think there has only been 3 countdown shows (usually 4) and whilst it has been showcased ALOT on FFN.... what are the ratings of this show these days.

NO WAY DOES IT BEAT BRUNO VS TYSON SURELY, I REMEMBER EVERY TOM DICK AND HARRY COMING ROUND MY MUM AND DADS IN THE EARLY HOURS OF THE MORNING, I BET THERE WERE MORE PEOPLE IN THERE LOUNGE THAN BUYS FOR THIS FIGHT

Joking aside though i have just ordered the fight even though Ive said to myself all week that im not paying for it, I want to see what Barrera has got left and im looking for a very impressive win from Enzo, i could personally take or leave the Cook fight

yea with the Free Links and Dodgy Cable boxes kicking about these days then alot of folk are watching it for Free
so wouldnt imagine major viewing figures like the fights from good few years back.

Although alot of people will still buy as its a cracking fight.
