    The rules are any non main event fight televised on a PPV event.

    For example the Simon Brown Terry Norris fight was on the under card of Chavez v Holligan and that fight overshadowed the Chavez fight by far.

    Was Fenech-Nelson I on TV? If not, that's my choice.


    I think it was on the undercard of Tyson ruddock.

    So PPV era only?

    Ramos-Moore, Griffith-Rodriguez, and Torres-Cruz, for instance, was billed as a triple-header...:think

    Then I'll say Sugar Ramos' win over Moore overshadowed the presumptive main event in Griffith-Rodriguez even though the welterweight title changed hands. And that's just the ten rounds of the fight itself, obviously the outcome overshadows the entire evening.
