I remember the night Tyson Vs Holyfield 1

Was it 4 World title Fights on one bill?

The song sky used was a load of old rock rubbish.

'There will never be another tonight'

But they were right about that!


Pure WBU rubbish after that!


Praise the King.

:yep

I think the first PPV card in the UK was Tyson v Bruno II. I think Benn and Hamed were both on th card. Fuck all chance of something like that happening now...

December 8th

4 cards
Khan Vs Earl
then Eastman Vs Duddy which started exactly when the Khan fight finished
then the Sky warm up card from Wigan
then the big one from Vegas

Also there was a Don King card on Sky a few years ago with four world title fights including two undisputed title fights: Hopkins Vs Joppy and Spinks Vs Mayorga

I remember that cheesy song. Very fitting tho. Sky had some "unique" song choices for features & closing credits.

They also strangely used Don't Look Back In Anger after Bruno-Tyson II.

They used 'Many rivers to cross' when Lennox mashed down Bruno I think?

They should have used

'I got a brand new combine harvester' for all the WBU bollocks.

Or maybe the tune from Steptoe and Son?

tyson holyfield was a great night but the quality of boxing was crap really. . moorer botha, akinwande were terrible. the naz fight was a mismatch, collins benn was terrible and the winky wright fight was a mismatch

Don King used to put on some cracking cards in the early 90's. i remember trinidad, chavez, jackson, norris and other stars all sharing a card. it was great

arum used to something similar with dlh is well. i remember him and toney and a couple of other stars sharing a card

Miguel Cotto vs. Antonio Margarito should be a WAR ! I'm looking forward to that.

For some reason I remember the Tyson V Francis card. I mean it was my second time at the MEN and I just remember all the hype over tyson.
