    Default Has there ever been a British Mega Fight in America?

    Just wondering, what's the biggest ever fight stateside between two British fighters?

    Has it even ever happened?

    We've had big all Mexican superfights with Barrera, Marquez and Morales but I can't think of any other huge national fights that took place on the world stage of HBO PPV.

    What's the biggest British world fight ever?

    Do you mean British fights that were big in the States? Obviously none would ever be PPV.

    If I remember right - Lewis-Bruno was live on HBO, Benn-Eubank 2 was live on Showtime, and recently Haye-Enzo was showtime too.

    lol at Lewis Akinwande.

    Basically I meant have two British fighters ever headlined a big venue like the Garden or Ceasar's Palace?

    I mean virtually all of the biggest fights in history are at the legendary American fighting venues such as those above, was wondering if two British fighters had ever topped a bill in the states.

    I know HBO and Showtime have covered a few big British fights but wondered if two of our boys had ever gone over there and put on a megafight.

    It would be a silly place to have the mega fight.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
