Down the Street of Dreams

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Boxer Wayne McCullough 's exciting, silver medal-winning performances at the 1992 Olympics attracted the interest of Mat Tinley, an American TV executive with no experience of the complex, ruthless world of boxing management. With the dream of a world title and the promise of television coverage for every fight, Wayne turned professional, moving with his wife to
Las Vegas. But pundits questioned the wisdom in signing with Tinley.
Filmed overthree years, this documentary offers an insight into how significant a role television now plays in shaping the public's perceptions of boxers and the sport of boxing.
