    i am sure they will sugarcoat it, dont think they will show or tell the real McCellan, because then some people will have no sympathy

    Yeah it was his family who had him flown back to America against doctor's advice.

    Can anyone enlighten me as to some of McClellan's pre-fight comments that some have referred to?

    "We want Benn dead, we want his money" was one of them that was reported. Whether those were his exact words or it was artistic licence by journalists, I don't know.

    It wouldn't be surprising though, McClellan was undoubtedly a piece of **** human being of the highest magnitude.

    A genuine attempt at the true uncensored story of Benn-McClellan would produce an atg boxing documentary.

    I knew that McClellan's family said that after the fight, they really didn't cover themselves in glory even allowing for the anger.

    When is this likely to air on ITV?

    he was asking about pre-fight comments, those comments above were post fight.

    McClellan had threatend to damage Benn then started having a go at his old man as well I think.

    I was at a sportsmans evening a few weeks back, talking to Benn's wife caroline, she said Gerald told Nigel's dad he was going to put him in a wheel chair and other threats
