    . . . which matchup would you produce?

    (Remember to think like a businessman and not like a boxing forum purist or a nationalist)

    Mayweather/McGregor II in Vegas
    Anthony Joshua vs Wilder in the UK. Signed rematch clause for a rematch in Vegas if loser wants it.
    Loma/Linares with a regular HBO fight featuring both fighters on separate cards before the facing off.

    Well, they're not the 2 best fighters but it would have to be Joshua v Wilder in the UK.
    A mega fight that could fill Wembley Stadium many times over.

    Like a businessman anything with Mayweather's name on it will make money.. So I would push for Mayweather vs Macfooker 2 and make another circus.. Hell even Magregor Malinaggi or McGregor DLH would make more money than an actual real fight would be the smartest business decision.. ITS SO SAD... Put Money in the Octagon and it will break PPV numbers... :duh:duh:rolleyes:

    Yes, but remember that it is Mayweather that makes all of the money of a promotion and you as a promoter would just be paid a fee for doing the work.

    Mayweather in the Octagon would make so much money it will probably never be broken for decades.

    (Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder) Winner vs Tyson Fury

    I will make sure to keep Anthony Joshua from Andre Ward (at any cost), as Joshua losing to Ward will ruin the build up

    Continue Manny´s world tour while promoting it as the last year of his career. Have him face opponents he can actually KO.
    And BOOM! Rematch with Mayweather at the end of the year.

    But i all honesty, just have the best face the best and people will tune in.

    Mine would be Wilder vs Parker/Joshua winner and on the same card have Ward vs Usyk while promoting the fact that the winners will meet in an ultimate face-off.
