    Lets forget about championships, rankings, weight (to an extent), styles, etc. for a minute and give me your opinions on what fights would generate the most crossover interest. I'm looking for the "SUPERBOWL" of boxing from a marketing standpoint. Or better yet "The World Series of Boxing".

    The Super Bowl of boxing would be to have many huge fights on the same fight card.

    Klitschkow-Peter II
    Calzaghe-Pavlik
    Cotto-Mayweather
    Hatton-Pacquiao

    Not necessarily in that order....

    Cotto-Mayweather and Pacquiao-Hatton would definitely bring boxing a brighter spotlight.

    The Night of the Champions:

    1st; Pac/Hatton
    2nd; Cotto/Mayweather
    3rd; Pavlik/Calzaghe

    This one would SMASH all previous PPV records even if it was $99.95

    nah thats not a big mainstream fight IMO. Pavlik is not 2 known by the mainstream America, neither is Calzaghe.

    OScar delahoya vs Felix Trinidad 2
    Roy Jones Jr vs FLoyd Mayweather Jr
    Floyd Mayweather vs Miguel Cotto

    Cotto vs Mayweather would have the highest PPV buys IMO.

    Interesting event that would be called: Night of Champions. I also would call it if it is not trademarked: Best of the Best!!!

    And make those fights happen in the new Yankee Stadium !
    Such a card would probably also be the most money generated on site, including the most money made selling food, beer, t-shirts, etc....because there would be a packed house right from the start of the event !!
