    Whats the best line youve ever heard from a fighter or promoter to sell a fight.

    Ill start off with one for this weeks ringside.

    Matt Hatton- Ive told people to bring a snorkle to this fight, cause when i burst his bubble theyll be swimmng out of the arena.

    Dunno about "best" but Hector Camachos "All you ni**ers, bring it on baby!" certainly got people talking.

    Not a phrase at all, but Hopkins burning the Puerto Rican flag certainly cranked up the interest for his fight with Trinidad.

    I know. It wasn't done to sell a particular fight either, it was just a post fight comment.

    Still, it caused quite a stink at the time, esp. considering the fight people were talking about for Camacho was Livingstone Bramble.

    (My Hitler post shouldn't be taken literally either...;-))
