i hadn't even heard from superbowl before

**freflellalafe** · 06-02-2007, 09:51 PM

Peyton Manning had a lot of witnesses to his soggy super win, with the estimated 93.2 million viewers representing the second most-watched Super Bowl broadcast ever. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/...n2437074.shtml

I thought SuperBowl was baseball...

I doubt many ppl outside the US would actually watch it.

**CDCL7WKJ** · 06-03-2007, 12:46 AM

I think that the football world cup, european championship, champions league and the olympics have more people watching than the superbowl...

I know 0 people that care about american football, and i don't think that anyone really watches it outside of the US...

**Sthjrderfida** · 06-03-2007, 12:53 AM

Bearing in mind it's on during the middle of the night over here, I doubt many people this side of the pond watch it. I certainly don't know of anybody that does (that I know of).

**paulaglober** · 06-03-2007, 12:54 AM

I did not watch it.[rolleyes]

**Fvmfrctt** · 06-03-2007, 01:31 AM

I think it's World Cup finals (soccer / football).

That's clever....as there are only about 6 Billion people in the world.

Combined viewing figures of presumably all the games.

Wow.. Thats funny, I just noticed that. Check the link and scroll down.

It's a meaningless figure though isn't it? You're comparing the total viewing figures of lots of games (which will be mostly the same people anyway) with the viewing figures of a single game.

**AlexClips** · 06-03-2007, 03:40 AM

Its a bit like the Baseball "World Series"? I dont think anyone much outside of America really watch it..

Anyway, Why is it called football? its just Rugby with helmets and padding isnt it?

Rugby is just Football without all the hard hitting.

Just saw this stat from the news last night that I thought was pretty interesting. The highest ratings EVER for a TV program in the US was in 1983. It had about 103 million viewers. It was the season finale of M*A*S*H. Yeah, I was surprised too. Next, is the 1996 Super Bowl with 90 some odd million viewers.
