Yep, the article is here: http://www.premierleague.com/page/Headlines/0,,12306~2478980,00.html

The quote is: "The Barclays Premier League is watched by 70 per cent of the world's estimated 2.08 billion football fans."

2.08 not 2.30 but same sorta thing.

If this were true which I'm not saying it is, that would mean that 70 percent of the world are wasting their time when they should be watching La Liga and Serie A :coffee:

Even La Liga and Serie A fans watch the EPL.

Thanks for the welcome. Smile

I read here for a while, but after I came across those ridiculous numbers, I simply had to sign up. I simply hate those inflated numbers which are published by all sort of sports leagues and federations in order to gain publicity.
