JUST from the financial standpoint? I like some earlier recommendations about diversifying the TV audience to take globalization into account. Hmm.... Bernard Hopkins vs. BJ Penn (settle the boxing vs. MMA debate) under MMA rules Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brock Lesnar (MMA Rules) Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao (Boxing Rules) Liu Hailong vs. Anderson Silva (MMA Rules) Mike Tyson vs. Jet Li (No Rules) Shinya Aoki vs. some big non-Japanese lummox. Try Valuev. (MMA Rules)
Give me a time machine and I'll give you a SINGLE fight that will beat out every other PPV event in history and every event that you guys just listed: Muhammad Ali vs. Bruce Lee.
biggest PPV ever hmm. How about the rematch of Lewis - Klitschko? Fedor - Lesnar Mayweather - Pacquiao Anderson Silva - RJJ (boxing rules) Toney - Hopkins GSP - Henderson
People were proposing some fantasy matchups on Sherdog. Someone came up with "kimbo slice vs brock lesnar" . After I stopped laughing I realised that I might be willing to pay to see Lesnar crush the life out of Kimbo.
Don't worry about Lesnar...I heard a few months back that Kimbo gets KOed in his first fight in the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter...not 100% on it obviously...but there were rumours about it and Dana White was very upset that it leaked...so we'll see haha
He got sparked out by Seth Petruzelli in his last bout. The idea that he would face Lesnar was hillarious. Somebody made a non sarcastic suggestion that they should meet.
Special feature bonus match: Arianny vs Logan in a bikini match (i'll put myself forward as special referee)
