Anyone know what time the show starts on Sky Sports and if we're getting more than just the Bika fight on the undercard?

How does this compare with other fighters on HBO?

Half were probably hoping to see him lose! The people at the fight were cheering for Rees and Rees only had about 5 people there from Wales :lol:

Ward/Dawson got 1.3 million last September. Not sure about any others.

True that.

Anybody else gotten those kinda views for just cookin' some cabbage? YIKES.

:broner

I think people in the crowd also knew the odds. With numbers like that, you got to put a little somethin on the underdog. He has drawn viewers in his career and is gaining a bigger audience by the fight...

Wow, I thought that Ward/Dawson, given the profile of the pair of them (and both having had a legitimate claim to being the number one in their respective divisions), would have had more viewers than Broner/Rees. Perhaps it shows that Broner does have the potential to replace Mayweather as the HBO cash cow to a certain extent?
