Has there ever been a British Mega Fight in America?

[Fenster]

Lewis-Akinwande was in the States.. sold 1000 tickets.

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.

Not to my knowledge no, unless im missing out on some of the lower weightclasses.

It just wouldn't make sense, as Lewis-Akinwande sort of highlights (they knew the fight would do shit numbers beforehand but Don King, who was basically in control of the WBC at the time, and Akinwande's manager/promoter, forced it).

It's like Mexicans only fight on the west coast, Puerto Ricans the east. You fight where your audience is.

The only other fight I can think of is Welch-Akinwande on the Tito-Lueshing undercard. I remember about three people in the crowd watching that one.

welsh akinwande came to mind for me too... scott really froze a bit that night.

then i was clutching at straws to think of another... the closest i could think of was...

Naz - McCullough ((english yemen vs irish guy))

not 100% sure if it was PPV or not in the US.
