    I was just thinking about how much money Mayweather vs Mcgregor made despite how much of a clear favorite Mayweather was. Your goal is to create a fantasy fight mismatch that will still bring you Mayweather-Mcgregor esque money.

    Rules:

    1) You can pick between any boxer/athlete in history besides Mayweather and McGregor
    2) The fight must have a massive betting favorite
    3) You must generate 4.3 million pfv buys or more.

    yeah I know its kinda dumb but I'm sure there's been dumber things on here.

    Roy Jones vs Anderson Silva. Still a shame it never happened. If they fought when they were both still popular and world class, I guarantee it would have done crazy numbers (especially if it's before the Tarver KO). Roy would have humiliated him in a boxing match 100x out of 100 attempts, but the event would be amazing.

    James Toney vs Rampage Jackson. These two had SERIOUS beef with each other and Jackson declared on camera that fists would be thrown on sight if he saw him. Again, mind boggling it never happened when it should have been easy to make. The build up would have been insane and people would tune in. In a boxing match, it would be a complete mismatch but by God it would be a treat to see.

    Get Wilder in the ring with Franciss Ngannou and you have a promoters wet dream. Two of the most devastating heavyweight sluggers from boxing and MMA squaring off. It certainly helps they're both tall and imposing as that always helps sell a fight. This one I'm not even sure if it's a sure thing Wilder wins since he could be so sloppy and that would draw in tons of casuals curious because both guys arguably have an equal punchers chance.

    Do it like a handicap wrestling match like when King Kong Bundy would take on five midgets at once.

    If it’s “McBride” Tyson, then I’m not sure who is/are the deemed underdog(s).

    Well, my money will always be on John, Paul, George and Ringo. And then they’ll write a hit song about how they beat Tyson like a drum. “Aheh, aheh, yeahhhh!!”
