    This one, DLH-Chavez Jr. and Toney-Hopkins at HW. Also Klit vs. Klit.

    Believe it or not but Kessler-Hopkins would probably do about 500.000 PPV buys in Denmark alone!

    UK PPVs are only about half the price of those in the US, which does has the effect of making them a lot more recession proof.

    Hatton-Pac will generate 1m PPV buys in UK alone because of Hatton.

    Mayweather-Pac produce a million buy in the US.

    That's cause the American dollar is about half of what a British pound is worth.

    I reckon Wlad Vs Vitali would be close to the only non-US fighter involved million selling title fight could be.

    A million PPV fight these days needs Pacman in it I guess - He's about the biggest active draw card.

    everyone knows who they are..if tito-rjj can do 500,000 buys...tito-oscar can do 1 mil..again its not how good they are...its that the "casual" fan knows who they are and would pay to see them and have a huge party if they fought...they don't realize that both are outta there prime and aren't a big factor in the ring anymore...

    I just mean its the same in the Duran/Leonard III fight in that they're both over the hill and the fight means nothing. I wouldn't pay for that as a huge fan that buys most fights.

    you'd be surprised what a little bit of advertising would do

    remember how much advertising that oscar fight got...

    imagine if they advertised for margaito & shane.. you would really be surprised

    GOT YA:good I'd pay for it...I mean I know there both over the hill....Which is why it should happen...The last time these 2 fought they were becoming the new faces of boxing and both were undefeated..now there both past it..I'm sure both would put on a good show for the fans...I'd have to take Tito though...The fight wouldn't take place below 163 and i'd favor tito on this 1...NEVER HAPPEN THOUGH!:-(
