Setanta managed to get the tv rights the morning of the fight if I recall correctly.
No media exposure at all in the build up.
I'd say it's Hayes best win personally.
I have a feeling we knew that Setanta had it a few days previously, because I had been trying to find a pub showing it for a few days beforehand.
But, I might have misremembered that myself.
Ye they were trying to get it for ages.
Remember Bunce saying on the Thursday that it was close to a done deal.
The latest I can remember Tv rights being assigned for a title fight.
