    Create the best PPV card that would sell and make YOU the most money while giving quality entertainment to the fans.
    Select a venue, a date, a PPV price and stack the event with the best fights while still considering your profit.
    Select fighters from anywhere including and/or add MMA fights too.

    Hmmm....How many fights are we allowed to put on?

    The usual boxing show has 4 fights (3 undercards and the main event) so all things considered I'd try to go with something along the lines of:

    Venue: MSG

    Main Event 147 lb WBO Welterweight Title
    Ricky "Hitman" Hatton vs Miguel Angel Cotto

    Pre-lim Bouts
    Israel Vasquez vs JuanMa Lopez

    Zab "Super" Judah vs Timothy "Desert Storm" Bradley

    Danny Jacobs vs Edison Miranda

    All of the talent is pretty much cost controlled (outside of the main event), assuring that I wouldn't go nuts on bidding prices. I'd make a KILLING at the gate with two big time draws in Cotto and Hatton, not to mention all the money I'd get selling "exclusive" hotel passes for all the british fans coming overseas.

    Cotto is a mega star in NY and Hatton is a megastar pretty much anywhere. The Brits will flock in huge numbers and the puerto rican fans will come out to see Cotto. It'll be great money and a great fight while it lasts.

    Juan Ma is slowly becoming a big time PR star so putting him on display in MSG against a mega opponent is good business. Juan Ma against Israel Vasquez also has the big Mex-P.R rivalry which on name basis alone would draw in good numbers. It's not like it'd be a bad fight either....Israel Vasquez doesn't have bad fights.

    Zab Judah may not have much but he still has his Brooklyn fan base. Assuming prices were decent I'm sure they'd come out to see him get a title shot against Bradley. It's also Judah in a big time fight atmosphere..guaranteed high drama.

    Danny Jacobs would be the whole "showcase" fight every boxing card needs. Showing off the local boy future superstar against a capable sort of opponent like Edison Miranda. It'd be a good litmus test for Jacobs and a nice way to start the show off.

    So in other words: A big time main event between two big draws, an undercard stacked with good title fights featuring local stars and the continuation of one of boxings biggest rivalries.

    Zab doesn't deserve another big fight, and Bradley isn't entitled to a second easy defence.

    Also, Frank Warren will find a dodgy WBO rule that stops Ricky Hatton getting his hands on the strap.

    In a hypothetical world, Wlad vs Vitali. Not much bigger than that.
    Realistically, Hatton-Pac would be pretty big. As would Haye Klitschko

    You would make more money by creating two or three different PPV from those fights.
