Create the biggest PPV event ever

[The Mighty One]

Include boxing matches and MMA (regardless of who holds exclusive promotional contract rights). Limit the number of fights to fill a three hour PPV time slot.....perhaps six fights.

Fedor vs Lesnar
Machida vs A.Silva


Mayweather vs Manny Pacqueoaio
Vitali vs Wladimir

The rest of the cards prolly won't make a huge difference on the card. Perhaps include GSP or BJ on the MMA cards could make a difference. But at this caliber fights I don't think it'll be significant change, maybe 10% more?

+1 Literally exactly what I was thinking.

I refuse to accept that Mayweather-Pacquiao is a bigger fight than Mayweather-Mosley.

It may be true, I just refuse to accept it. :bart

Fedor comes to UFC and beats Mir or Couture then....

Main Events:
Brock Lesnar vs Fedor
Silva vs Rampage
St. Pierre vs Henderson

Undercard:
Crocop vs Gonzaga rematch (given Crocop keeps winning)
Tito Ortiz vs Forrest Griffin rematch
Florian vs Sanchez rematch (after Penn beats Sanchez)


Boxing:

Main Event

Manny Pacquaio vs Floyd Mayweather

Machida vs Silva won't be THAT big :deal For hardcore fans, yes. But for casual fans, not much bigger than any other Anderson fight I think. Not many know Machida still.

GSP versus Hendo? That's a super interesting matchup that I think GSP has absolutely no chance of winning.

[BewareofDawg]

GSP versus Hendo? That's a super interesting matchup that I think GSP has absolutely no chance of winning.
This is the fight I'm most intrigued in seeing. Let GSP test the waters at Middleweight with Hendo, things I'd be most interested in seeing:
1. How good GSP's standup will be against a big strong, seasoned guy who isn't gonna be afraid of him
2. If GSP can get Hendo down
3. If GSP can control Hendo if/when he gets him down
4. How GSP's guard is, since we never see him on his back


I would actually rather see this fight then GsP / Anderson because I think Anderson would destroy GSP in a very very disturbingly easy fashion. :deal

[The Mighty One]

A monster promotion with many angles...more than just for the purists

Brock Lesnar vs Fedor Emelianenko

Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather

Anderson Silva vs Roy Jones (the debate about this would cause a huge interest)

Cung Le vs Liu Hialong (China's biggest martial arts star)

-and-

Georges St. Pierre vs Rickson Gracie (is he really the greatest fighter of all time?)

The entire world would have a stake in this with the largest populations and the most potential viewers -- China, Russia, the U.S., South America...Europe would just come along.

I actually think GSP has a better chance against Anderson than he does against Henderson. With Henderson, I think, GSP has to win standing. He isn't incapable of winning standing, but Henderson almost certainly won't be knocked out by GSP and will probably be just about the hardest MW to take to the ground.

Anderson is a big 185 but so is Henderson, possibly more so because he is so accustomed to fighting at 205. I think Henderson is the tougher fight for GSP because I think it is more likely that GSP beat Anderson on the ground than GSP to beat Henderson standing.

Just to be clear, I don't think Hendo is a better fighter than Anderson, certainly not a better standup fighter. I just think that stylistically Anderson is the better matchup. Frankly, I think GSP is a huge underdog in both of these fights.

Pac - PBF is much bigger. No one is talking about Mosely.

Now that's a great card. I would love to see Rickson armbar GSP.

Fedor vs Lesnar
Silva vs Machida @ 205
GSP vs Penn 3 -no grease allowed this time:lol:

Mayweather vs Pacquiao
Hatton vs Marquez- gotta bring those brits and mexican fans to help PPV buys
Cotto vs Mosley 2- add those hardcore pr fans

3 big boxing fights with mexican-brits-filipino-puerto ricans and american fans + ufc fans together = biggest PPV event ever:good

[ufoalf]

No Klitchko's? I think boxing HWs have always created biggest buzz. Considering there happens some kind of a feud between the two Klitchko's and they want to brutalize each other I think it could be one of the biggest draws.

[Half-Dane]

Wiley Coyote vs Road Runner

[cross_trainer]

JUST from the financial standpoint? I like some earlier recommendations about diversifying the TV audience to take globalization into account.



Hmm....


Bernard Hopkins vs. BJ Penn (settle the boxing vs. MMA debate) under MMA rules
Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brock Lesnar (MMA Rules)
Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao (Boxing Rules)
Liu Hailong vs. Anderson Silva (MMA Rules)
Mike Tyson vs. Jet Li (No Rules)
Shinya Aoki vs. some big non-Japanese lummox. Try Valuev. (MMA Rules)

[cross_trainer]

Give me a time machine and I'll give you a SINGLE fight that will beat out every other PPV event in history and every event that you guys just listed:

Muhammad Ali vs. Bruce Lee.

[Vanboxingfan]

biggest PPV ever hmm.

How about the rematch of Lewis - Klitschko?
Fedor - Lesnar
Mayweather - Pacquiao
Anderson Silva - RJJ (boxing rules)
Toney - Hopkins
GSP - Henderson

People were proposing some fantasy matchups on Sherdog.
Someone came up with "kimbo slice vs brock lesnar" .

After I stopped laughing I realised that I might be willing to pay to see Lesnar crush the life out of Kimbo.

Don't worry about Lesnar...I heard a few months back that Kimbo gets KOed in his first fight in the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter...not 100% on it obviously...but there were rumours about it and Dana White was very upset that it leaked...so we'll see haha

He got sparked out by Seth Petruzelli in his last bout. The idea that he would face Lesnar was hillarious. Somebody made a non sarcastic suggestion that they should meet.

Special feature bonus match: Arianny vs Logan in a bikini match

(i'll put myself forward as special referee)

[The Mighty One]
