Can you think of any "Event" fighters?

I think the first event fighter was Joe Louis....my Grandmother told me a story about her whole family gathering around the radio to listen to one of his fights and by the time everything got set up and ready Joe had already KO'd the guy.

I'm not sure if they had live broadcasts of Dempsey fights or not

Your grandmother was correct. I can remember that myself. I think Hatton comes close today. Lot's of fun before, durings and after the fight. Lot's of singing and boozing and fun.
