As of backbone 1.0, model.fetch() triggers a 'sync'. That's what you should bind to.

Here's the relevant part from the backbone.js source where the 'sync' event is fired:

fetch: function(options) {
  options = options ? _.clone(options) : {};
  if (options.parse === void 0) options.parse = true;
  var model = this;
  var success = options.success;
  options.success = function(resp) {
    if (!model.set(model.parse(resp, options), options)) return false;
    if (success) success(model, resp, options);

    // HERE'S THE TRIGGER!
    model.trigger('sync', model, resp, options);

  };
  wrapError(this, options);
  return this.sync('read', this, options);
},
