    i dont care how populated that nation is, 100 million is one of the most inflated numbers anyone has ever tried to spew.

    humoring you for no reason, if there really was 100 million people who enjoyed boxing at the time... go talk to them and not us. if some1 like michael watson was a national figure, you people mustve been desperate.

      The television audiences for Benn-Watson, Benn-Eubank I, Eubank-Watson I, Eubank-Watson II and Benn-Eubank II were all in excess of 20 million. That's one third of the country, that's some crazy **** when you think about it.

        Michael wasn't a national figure until after the accident, he's a national hero now though.

        You have to remember, Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank fought live on terrestrial ITV at prime time (there were only four channels back then) on a Saturday night, they were extremely popular.. on TV shows and in the papers all the time (especially Eubank for his eccentric behaviour). You couldn't walk down the street and find somebody who didn't know who Frank Bruno or Chris Eubank was, you still can't.

                  id love to of seen that amateur fight between Michael Watson and Michael Nunn. that would be cool. the tall & rangy, lightning fast, southpaw Nunn against the pure skill of the counter punching Watson.
