Biggest Build up and Anticipation for a British Fight?

The TV rights were very messy because ITV had a deal with Don king (who owned Witherspoon) and the BBC had a contract with Bruno/ Lawless.

 

Benn Eubank II easily.

 

Haye V Maccarenelli was a massive event.

I couldnt walk down the road in Swansea without seeing a massive poster up on the billboards showing Haye and Maccarenelli with the slogan

"Disunited Kingdom"

On the night as well - what a atomsphere at the fantastic 02 arena.

I wasnt there - but watching on the TV the 02 arena was like a whos who of the celebrity world as they all waited in anticaption of the main event.
