TV Ratings/PPV Buyrates

    Anyone know what the Sky PPV figures were over the last year so or any of the non-PPV telecasts? The Haye-Harrison, Klitschko-Haye PPVs would be good to know. German ratings seem to be released but I never see Sky's viewing figures.

    Google translator:
    Klitschko-Adamek -

    The title defense of WBC champion Vitali Klitschko against his challenger, Tomasz Adamek, Poland has given RTL late on Saturday evening once again a top rate.

    Up to 10.01 million viewers (market share of the peak value: 51%) watched the unequal struggle, the superior in all respects, 40-year-old champion after 2.26 minutes of the 10th Round of technical whacked won.

    On average, the RTL broadcast came from the sold-out stadium with 44 500 spectators in Wroclaw at 9.51 million, the market share was outstanding 45.1 percent (14-49-year-olds: 43.5%).

    A few more German viewing figures, according to Steve Bunce:

    Klitschko-Chambers:
    watched by 13.7 million people on RTL, the biggest television audience for a sports event since the European Championships in 2008. Tickets, incidentally, for the Chambers fight at the Esprit Arena started at just €20 (£18).

    Valuev-Haye:
    When Haye won the WBA title in Nuremberg in 2009 against Nikolai Valuev, who was born and raised in Russia but based locally, the television audience was 8.4m; more importantly, and amazingly, the fight was viewed by 40.5 per cent of all Germans watching television that night. The Klitschko figures dwarf that, with as many as 60 per cent of all Germans watching television on a Saturday night tuning in to watch another calculated Klitschko win.

    "Sturm"-Macklin:
    Last week Matthew Macklin's fight with World Boxing Association middleweight champion Felix Sturm was watched by 4.5m viewers, a figure that would be welcomed by any of Britain's terrestrial companies. In the list of the most watched sports events in German history, nine of the top ten places are currently occupied by either Maske or his heavyweight counterpart Schulz; Wladimir Klitschko will change that this weekend against Haye.
