    ....build a six or seven fight card that would fill the LA Coliseum and do multi millions on PPV television and the internet. It could be boxing plus MMA and even add kickboxing. Remember that it would have to have mass and worldwide appeal and not just involve your favorite fighters.

    I will start with Pacquiao vs Mayweather

    the more big name people you have..the more money you have to dish out....
    more talent = more money......most big name draws will all have different managment and promoters, so it would never work...we cant even get 1 big match made these days much less 6 on a card....

    The biggest promotions in boxing history were Thrilla In Manila and Rumble In The Jungle.....You can put PBF vs Pac together right now and it wouldnt even come close to either one I mentioned....

    Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao

    Vitali Klitchschko vs. Wladimir Klitschko

    Miguel Cotto vs. Antonio Margarito


    That would be biggest promotion in boxing history imo. 6-7 fights is too long.

    Remember you can add MMA and kickboxing to appeal to those fans...plus don't forget the huge Chinese audience.

    Pacquiao-Cotto 3 rounds (they would go all out)
    Nadal-Federer (tie-breaks only, best of 5)
    Messi-Ronaldinho (Wembley singles, featuring Buffon in goal)
    Pittsburgh Steelers vs All-Blacks (one half of rugby followed by one quarter of American football)

    and to end the night

    The IDF versus the Revolutionary Guards, no holds barred.

    Would be too many ego's around. Imagine putting a fighter who has always headlined a card being put on the undercard?

    They could all be billed as co-main events and the order of bouts would be determined by drawing straws.
