I made this thread to add a little creativity to some of the nonsensical bitching that goes down on the ESB fourms. This has been done before for fighters around at the moment, but im not sure about one with any fighters from any times, if it has feel free to make me feel bad. Rules: Any fighters, from any points in time, Weight class/Catchweight should be specified if the fighter(s) fought at several different weights. Any Venue. Any Commentery team, guest analysts and boxing organisation(s) (HBO, Showtime, Sky etc.) Dont forget about ring announcers and referees. How much would the PPV card cost? What time would the event start? The card can consist of 6 fights altogether, all main event quality. You should say what rules apply, eg. No. of rounds, 3 knockdown rule, point deductions etc. I would love to hear what you guys come up with. :thumbsup
