    Ali-Tyson would probably be around $100 I guess. Mayweather-Pacquiao was $90 I think. I would pay the $100 although I think there are a lot of historical matchups that would be better fights.

    Charlie Zelenoff would spend the whole time talking about his imaginary career, and Kim Kardashian. She actually has a restraining order on him for stalking her.

    I'd pay any amount, and I couldn't give a **** about who's commentating.
    This fight would bring me utmost joy twice:
    - when Tyson poleaxes Ali
    - when I get to see the desperation and utter shock on the face of Ali fanboys

    A pole axe is a long rangy weapon. Why on earth would you use that metaphor for Tyson?

    How much would I pay? What's the absolute maximum if the fight was really, really happening? And I can't get to the fight?

    If I was paying for it all on my own, alone, sad and alone and alone, I would miss it at under $800. If I can get a bunch of guys to pitch in, however many guys I can get to pitch in at any figure up to and including $800. So, say a reasonable number of folks would be 20, i'd pay $16,000.

    The identity of the commentary team wouldn't make any difference to me under either set of circumstances.

    Cause Ali would go down like a large tree after Tyson hits him.

    You don't use poleaxes to cut down trees.

    Well, not now, cause we have chainsaws, but in the past they used them.

    They were an infantry weapon. A type of polearm. They were not a forestry management tool.

    Tyson and Snoop together commentating on a fight would be hilarious.

    If we are doing Ali dream fights, I'd like to see Prime Ali vs Prime Holmes. Would be a fantastic fight, and would go the distance so we'd get our money's worth.

    When I answered your question, I assumed you were talking about Mike Tyson, right ?!?
    Or was it Tyson Fury ?

    If I was running a network I would have a serious commentary team and a comedy commentary team and never would they meet.

    To what extent would you encourage the two teams to **** talk each other?
