    Was thinking this today...

    Basically, if every card that has ever taken place was a PPV card under the terms we have now in America (around $70 to watch) which would have had the most buys?

    I'd go one of these three:

    Ali-Fraizer 1
    Ali-Foreman
    Ali-Fraizer 3

    No idea how many buys they'd have got though

    Thoughts?

    I'd say Louis-Schmeling II would be have the most, though Ali-Frazier I would be a close second.

    01 - Jack Johnson v Jim Jeffries. Indisputably, almost.


















































    02 - Joe Louis v Max Schmeling II
    03 - Joe Frazier-Muhammad Ali I
    04 - Gene Tunney-Jack Dempsey I
    05 - Gene Tunney-Jack Dempsey II

    Johnson vs Jeffries?

    The first time a venue was constructed for Boxing and arguably during the sports most popular period (in the states anyway).
