    Include boxing matches and MMA (regardless of who holds exclusive promotional contract rights). Limit the number of fights to fill a three hour PPV time slot.....perhaps six fights.

    Fedor vs Lesnar
    Machida vs A.Silva


    Mayweather vs Manny Pacqueoaio
    Vitali vs Wladimir

    The rest of the cards prolly won't make a huge difference on the card. Perhaps include GSP or BJ on the MMA cards could make a difference. But at this caliber fights I don't think it'll be significant change, maybe 10% more?

    I refuse to accept that Mayweather-Pacquiao is a bigger fight than Mayweather-Mosley.

    It may be true, I just refuse to accept it. :bart

    Machida vs Silva won't be THAT big :deal For hardcore fans, yes. But for casual fans, not much bigger than any other Anderson fight I think. Not many know Machida still.

    GSP versus Hendo? That's a super interesting matchup that I think GSP has absolutely no chance of winning.

    This is the fight I'm most intrigued in seeing. Let GSP test the waters at Middleweight with Hendo, things I'd be most interested in seeing:
    1. How good GSP's standup will be against a big strong, seasoned guy who isn't gonna be afraid of him
    2. If GSP can get Hendo down
    3. If GSP can control Hendo if/when he gets him down
    4. How GSP's guard is, since we never see him on his back


    I would actually rather see this fight then GsP / Anderson because I think Anderson would destroy GSP in a very very disturbingly easy fashion. :deal

    A monster promotion with many angles...more than just for the purists

    Brock Lesnar vs Fedor Emelianenko

    Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather

    Anderson Silva vs Roy Jones (the debate about this would cause a huge interest)

    Cung Le vs Liu Hialong (China's biggest martial arts star)

    -and-

    Georges St. Pierre vs Rickson Gracie (is he really the greatest fighter of all time?)

    The entire world would have a stake in this with the largest populations and the most potential viewers -- China, Russia, the U.S., South America...Europe would just come along.

    I actually think GSP has a better chance against Anderson than he does against Henderson. With Henderson, I think, GSP has to win standing. He isn't incapable of winning standing, but Henderson almost certainly won't be knocked out by GSP and will probably be just about the hardest MW to take to the ground.

    Anderson is a big 185 but so is Henderson, possibly more so because he is so accustomed to fighting at 205. I think Henderson is the tougher fight for GSP because I think it is more likely that GSP beat Anderson on the ground than GSP to beat Henderson standing.

    Just to be clear, I don't think Hendo is a better fighter than Anderson, certainly not a better standup fighter. I just think that stylistically Anderson is the better matchup. Frankly, I think GSP is a huge underdog in both of these fights.

    Pac - PBF is much bigger. No one is talking about Mosely.

    Now that's a great card. I would love to see Rickson armbar GSP.

    No Klitchko's? I think boxing HWs have always created biggest buzz. Considering there happens some kind of a feud between the two Klitchko's and they want to brutalize each other I think it could be one of the biggest draws.
