    Perhaps the two biggest names in the division on PPV.

    Two questions.

    1. Fight outcome.

    2. PPV Buys.

    Only 50K Buys You're crazy!

    I say closer to 350K. Add a title and you're looking at 7 or 800K

    150 max, everybody knows they're past it, they'd have to market it like crazy to get any more and everybody would be talking about how it's just a couple of senior citizens fighting

    I think it would do pretty well on PPV. Lots of old time nostalgic boxing fans out there who would love to see both fighters again, as well as people who remember the excitment Golota always brought into the ring regardless of the outcome.

    As for the winner of the fight, Holyfield looked pretty good yesterday, and we havent really seen Golota in 2 years. That barely 2 round fight against Bates was hardly something to judge Golota by, he didnt even get a chance to shake any rust off. Golota needs one or two more fights to really see what he has left and how he performs.

    If Golota shakes off that rust and shows a good performance in the next bout, and uses that jab, I would pick him to win the fight by late round TKO. :bbb

    50k?
    Seems you know nothing man, would be closer to 350-400 for crying out loud, Holyfield probably has the biggest fanbase right now!
    Oh and Holyfield would knock that fragile mind right back to the nuthouse.

    Before Evander loses to a journeyman, they should put him in against a champion. He's rounded up a few wins, is the biggest draw in the division and would make any champ the most money. He may not win, but it's commendable what he's doing...

    First: Probably Golata, I don't really care. Both are past it.

    Second: I'd rather watch a rerun of the partridge family.

    A big event.. Savarese was a second rated name contender of the mid nineties..

    Golota is a larger name because of his more recent championship activity..

    A lot of buys and a very physical fight..

    Holyfield is living on borrowed time. He looks great against limited fighters who is much quicker and more skilled than...but against a big fighter like Golota who could impose his size on Holyfield, you would see Holyfield look like the shot fighter he looked like against Larry Donald.

    Golota UD10 Holyfield
