    Money wise?
    Yes.

    It would have destroyed PPV records.

    People seem to have already forgotten the hype that there was.

    Fights like Leonard-Hearns and Ali-Frazier or Ali-Foreman were fallowed by the whole world and were on national television. Millions of people were interested in those bouts. Most people barely know who Pacquiao and Floyd are. The sport now is a lot more marginal, so no it was going to be the biggest fight of the current era and that's it.

    Louis schmeling 2 was the most significant fight there ever was. The biggest war in the history of the world was going on. It was Germany vs America in that ring.

    Maybe, it would be top 5 for sure.

    Don't think it would make 3 million buys, would surpass 2 million for sure, probably close to 2.5m somewhere.

    It's just absurd it didn't happen.

    In terms of hype and revenue, yes. In terms of compitiveness. No.

    I'm pretty sure you meant money so yes it would have have passed Oscar Floyd by far.
    You have to remember that going into the Oscar fight Floyd was only averaging 350,000 ppv buys and Oscar was right around a million but Floyd and Manny were both doing over a million eachand still are.

    I still believe this fight can break records.
    Obviously both fighters are on the decline and excuses would be made for for each fighter if they lose but there ppv numbers are higher still the same as they were before meaning they are just as popular. That's all that matters when predicting ppv sales.
    We may still see this fight down the road because the money will always be there.
