    Every ESB member knows the biggest fight to be made is MAYWEATHER-PACQUIAO.

    WHAT IS THE 2ND BIGGEST PPV FIGHT THAT CAN BE MADE?

    I think the 2nd biggest PPV fight is MAYWEATHER-MOSLEY

    VOTE AND EXPLAIN?

    Klitschko vs Klitschko I think would break some records here. Two brothers who have dominated heavyweight boxing for half a decade fighting to unify the undisputed HW crown.

    I would love to see Klits fights. Just for the enjoyment of watching Farmboxer go into brain overload. That moron would kill himself.

    would love to see it and if they can GET BOTH FIGHTERS ON A U.S TOUR FOR 2 FIGHTS EACH THEY COULD HAVE A HUGE NAME HERE IN THE STATES PLUS A FIGHT WITH EACH OTHER WOULD BE WORTH THAT MUCH MORE...

    I was going to vote Klit vs Klit but decided to go with Pac vs Mosley. The reasons are:

    1. American audience will prefer at least 1 American fighter.
    2. Pac is one of, if not the biggest draw in boxing right now.
    3. If Mosley wins vs PBF, the value will just skyrocket. Hell he can demand 55-45, if not 50-50 by then vs Pac.
    4. The perception of a very weak heavyweight division does not help.

    Cotto-Margo did 500K with a lot of setbacks (HBO waiting til the last minute for a countdown show, Arum struggling to put promotion together in time etc etc). It's a natural rivalry -Mexico vs PR- which will always sell PPVs. Throw in the fact that Cotto is a bigger star now,Margarito was suspended over the gloves and the fact that fans naturally assume he did that against Cotto and you have the potential to skyscrape up to about 850K-ish.

    Now I don't necessarily think it'll top Mosley-Floyd (which I think is the right answer here) but realistically? It could do big numbers.

    I don't have enough faith in The Klitschko's as PPV sellers to suggest they would top Mosley-Floyd.

    It wont happen...they did 500k and a rematch would probably do the same as both fighters coming off brutal knockout losses...THEY WOULD BE LUCKY TO DO 600K...I THINK THEY WOULD DO AROUND 450-500 FOR A REMATCH...ABOUT THE SAME AS THEY DID IN THE FIRST FIGHT

    I don't agree. There's a lot of bad blood built in, there's Mexico vs PR, there's controversy from the first fight and there will be a lot more hype and publicity behind it.

    As for them coming off losses, does that affect things? Certainly it does. That said fans won't remember that. Tito vs RJJ did astronomical and both guys were long past irrelevant. Never underestimate a rivarly.
