    The last Klitschko fight over here saw over 10 Million people i doubt any ppv event could come close.

    Ok well first of all Mayweather would need either Pac, DLH or Hatton.
    I dont think anyone other than DLH can make a mega fight without any of the four mentioned above. I think DLH would make one with either Jones, Hokins, Mosley, Mora, Cotto, Pavlik, and Margarito.

    Any mix of the top 4 draws which is DLH, Pac, Mayweather and Hatton will be a mega fight but its silly to think the other 3 names can pick any other fighter and make one. Its just not possible. So unless you got DLH trying to make one the only Mega fights available are between those 4.

    Pac v Mayweather
    DLH v Mayweather II
    Cotto v Mayweather

    no other fight out there can produce enough star power to generate 1m PPV buys and/or a pact sold out arena.

    cotto's last fight was apparently the worst numbers theyve had, cotto is not a big name (yet). hatton, pac, hoya. the three biggest names out there. oh and mayweather if he made a come back.

    Klitschko vs. klitschko would surpass everything, unless Lennox Lewis came out of retirement to challenge baby bro

    Also, I think Roy Jones vs James Toney at heavyweight would be big!!

    if were talking world wide ppv none of these fights would be ppv in the uk! unless a british fighter is fighting , boxing is not really a mainstream sport no more. any fight with hatton would do big ppv numbers over here. even calzaghe doesnt fight on ppv. thats why all the big fights are on sky or setanta for free! no bugger would buy them otherwise. sadly thats the state of worldwide boxing in britain!:deal

    That's what I was going to say: Wlad vs. Lennox would be huge, if Lennox would come out of retirement to **** on his own legacy with a fight too far.

    I think Hatton-Pac is the biggest fight with a reasonable chance of happening soon.

    For everyone who picked Cotto for involvement in the biggest selling fight available you can recast your vote for a different one now.

    Haye/Wlad would be pretty big in the UK. I'm not sure how interested the Americans would be though.
