i dont think this is true

According to Wikipedia:

"Over 42,000 crammed Old Trafford for one of the biggest boxing events ever staged. The bout was watched by half a billion people worldwide. Don King's contract stipulated that not only would the winner join his stable of fighters, but also the loser."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Benn_vs._Chris_Eubank

Not sure if true or not, but it could be true.

 

only 47% of the worlds population have a TV.

 

No ****ing chance, absolutely none. Load of ****, one of many dodgy wikipedia entries.

As I understand it (and this could also be **** but it's more realistic) the 2006 World Cup final was watched by an average of a quarter of a billion with over half a billion tuning in at some point.

 

I would imagine country wise it would have been watched in the UK more than any other country - what was the viewing figures here - 10 million?

only another 490 million to find

 

Don't know if it was true but Benn was very well known in America and Eubank was huge everywhere. Eubank was going to have fights in the Middle East, Asia etc as part of a world tour. Alot of countries knew about him.

 

...but if he counted all the repeats since then.....heh? :think
