    Those fights that would be the most widely watched worldwide, provide the biggest PPV numbers (more than 1 million), fill an arena and make the most money for the promoters, TV networks and the fighters themselves. NOT which is the fight that the small niche of purists would like to match or watch.
    For instance Calzaghe vs Jones does bigger numbers than Calzaghe vs Dawson.

    DLH-Hatton by a mile

    2nd group:
    DLH-Mosley III
    DLH-Tito II
    DLH-PacMan
    Hatton-PacMan
    Hatton-Mosley
    Mayweather-Mosley
    Mayweather-PacMan
    Mayweather-DLH II

    Some of these are unlikely but these would do stunning numbers.

    Good call. Can you imagine how much this would be over promoted. It will never happen though.

    I would call the biggest fights available those that would do over a million in PPV and fill an arena. Many of those listed so far could not do that.

    Current
    Calzaghe vs Jones
    Pacquiao vs Mayweather

    MMA
    Fedor Emelianenko vs Randy Couture
    Anderson Silva vs Cung Le


    Runner up-(comes close)
    De La Hoya vs Hatton
    Hatton vs Pacquiao

    In 2009
    Mayweather vs Cotto
    Calzaghe vs Pavlik

    If Anderson Silva ever fought Roy Jones that fight would also be in the "Mega" category.
