Create a most buys ppv

For most PPV buys it would have to be exiting so i'd pick

Muhammad Ali vs Mike Tyson
Jack Dempsey vs Joe Louis
Sugar Ray Robinson vs Leonard
Roberto Duran vs Henry Armstrong

 

Joltin' Jeff Chandler vs Lupe Pintor

Vicente Saldivar vs Salvador Sanchez

Mike McCallum vs Thomas Hearns (154)

Main Event
69 Frazier vs 66 Ali

 

Right now in 2012, of any historical fighter?

Ali vs Tyson. This one can't be beat.
DLH vs Leonard. You picked this one right.

Mayweather has been in a few dissapointing fights excitement-wise, and while he's well-known to the general public for a non-heavyweight, he doesn't belong here imo. Heavyweights should do best.

Mike Tyson vs Joe Louis.
Ali vs Joe Louis.

It's boring, but Ali and Tyson are names every joe-schmoe knows.

Edit: Oh, a card, so no duplicate fighters?

Tyson vs George Foreman.
Ali vs Joe Louis.
Leonard vs Julio Cesar Chavez.
Oscar De La Hoya vs Sugar Ray Robinson.

Not the most competitive matches, especially the last two, but every match has at least one household name.

 

Ali vs Tyson is an obvious headliner.

After that, assuming we're talking about a modern fan base purchasing the PPV here, then I'd pick Mayweather vs De la Hoya, Hatton vs Gatti and Haye vs Evander at CW. Basically fan favourites guaranteed to be put into exciting (if not necessarily competitive) fights.

 

Ali/Tyson

Dempsey/Louis

Bruno/Cooper

Robinson/Leonard

 

Mayweather vs Sugar Ray
Marciano vs Ali
Liston vs Dempsey
Foreman vs Tyson

 

Sam Langford vs Archie Moore - L-HW
Charley Burley vs SRR - MW
Joe Louis vs Ali - HW
Jock McAvoy vs Bert Gilroy - MW
Jimmy Wilde vs Benny Lynch - Fly W
Tony Canzoneri vs Roberto Duran - LW
Marcel Cerdan vs Marvin Hagler - MW
Harry Greb vs Carlos Monzon - MW
Robert Villimain vs Emile Griffith - WW

man a time machine would be the best.

 

Limiting things to 4 fights, I might go with the following:
Max Schmelling w/Hitler at his side (World Champion) vs Joe Choynski (Jewish Champion) w/Joe Louis in his corner.
Georges Carpentier (French Heavyweight Champion) vs Louis Angel Firpo (Argentine Champion)
Lionel Rose (World Bantamweight Champion) Austalia v Manny Pacquaio - Philipines
Ruben 'Hurricane' Carter vs the Raging Bull Jake La Motta


I have tried to make go with guys who would make the most publicity and garner the most interest in various different parts of the world but who would cost the least money to put on, hopefully meaning that even if i dont get as many pay per views, i would still make the most money.

 

Tyson/Ali
Delahoya/Leonard
Mayweather/Pacquiao

 

nothing would come close to the numbers ali tyson would do

 

ali vs tyson
marciano vs dempsey
Leonard vs de la hoya
pacquiao vs Mayweather-******ed it never happened an their both active. Both of them need put in jail like mike tyson said

 

Eric Esch vs Tony Galento

Roy Jones Jr vs Muhammad Ali at 200 lbs catchweight.

Oscar dela Hoya vs Leonard

Wladimir vs Ali
(Whole USA + big portion of EU)

 

I thought about that, but the UK is the only place in Europe that has a proper pay per view market. Boxing in Germany is still shown on 'Network' TV.
