Okay, I'm curious, now I have to know. When did this become a common thing in main events? Who started this trend? And what are some songs you guys remember that boxers used on the way to a main event fight? The earliest I can remember is maybe when Evander Holyfield was a heavyweight contender and then champion or when Tyson was champ, but was there someone before this that went out to the ring with music?
The earliest example I can think of was when Greg Haugen fought Chavez in Mexico and came out to Born In The USA. But there has to be an earlier example. There also must have been countless guys that probably used stuff like Eye of the Tiger (Pacquiao did recently) or the Rocky theme on their way to the ring, but what's the earliest you guys can remember of a boxer using entrance music?
