    The Event was unimaginative and did not fit well with a fight like Pac-Clottey

    Who gives a damn about the title. This is a historic fight. Deal with it.

    I think "America's Most Wanted" would've been a good title

    btw not my idea someone else came up with that

    Yeah it would have, but im sure someone would have brought up the racial connotations of naming it that.

    Who R U Picking isnt bad.

    You can practically split Mosley and Mayweather fans down the middle

    Why "Who R U picking" rather than "Who are you picking"

    Christ they've even got it "R U" on the posters. What a travesty. Arguably the least creative, most tacky name for a fight in history.

    As cheesy and tacky as the name is though, its a brilliant matchup and is going to be a real spectacle. If **** names are going to be the cost of finally getting genuine matchups then count me in. With that said though someone needs to be fired or shot over that little gem, particularly the "R U" part (as though Who Are You Picking? wouldn't be **** enough to begin with).

    It's a marketing title, it offers engagement to the potential viewers/fans. It isn't so bad but it is highly unimaginative. They can get a good viral campaign going with this title.

    It's an idiotic title, but also very smart. "Who R U picking" sounds like it's a genuine 50-50 fight, and since YOU are in the title, YOU are asked to pick = use your brain, pay some attention to it, get excitied = YOU buy the fight!

    People's biggest problems is the onesidedness of boxing fights, favorites usually win big fights big. The title make it look like some really unpredictable therefore exciting fight, and that's why beyond sounding idiotic, it's actually a smart choice.

    Absolutely agree. I have every intention on creating a thread about this exact same topic. Horrible Title!!!

    I had a few:

    "BAD BLOOD"
    "ABOUT TIME"
    "BRING IT"
    "PUT UP OR SHUT UP"
    "FLASH VS BASH"
    "STICK N' MOVE"
    "BLING VS KING"
    "THE MAIN EVENT"
