If you were to have a friend over who is not a boxing fan, which fight would you bring them over to watch to sell boxing to them?
Khan vs Peterson

Pacquiao vs. Bradley

I would say the Pac vs. Bradley fight.
1. If Khan and Mayweather have a tougher opponet than they figured it would be. They will use there superior boxing skills and box at a distance.
2. Both Pac and Bradley will trade shots and plant there feet to punch.
throwing a big fight party at my house saturday everybody is pumped cause of the mayweather name but my friends like to watch cotto fight especially after the margarito fight in december. All three fights i'll watch but only the cotto fight will i have a party plus it's cinco de mayo which will turn into a victory for puerto rico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would want to say Floyd and Miguel because that brings together the best talent in one ring but I fear the nuances of some of the things that will happen in the ring will be lost on the casual observer so I truly don't know.
mitchell's next fight
easy peasy
chicks dig the big men.
HW fights are the easiest for a non fan to appreciate
they really dont get the appeal of smaller, faster, more active men.
This one...?

I don't think "perfect storm" sums up this fight at all well.
"The perfect storm"...of headbutts and leg cramps.
Can't go wrong with Khan v. Peterson. Cotto v. Mayweather should be a good bet too. I can see Bradley and Pacman going either way.
Btw that poster for Pacquiao/Bradley is awful. It looks like a new flavor of Mountain Dew, not a big boxing match.

Khan vs Peterson based off the strength of the first fight
Mayweather-Cotto will be a mismatch and noobs dont appreciate skill level at first.
I wouldnt even advise a hardcore boxing fan to watch Tim Bradley

Mayweather vs Cotto. The name recognition will help bring interest, combined with a undercard with a lot of potential.
But that seems to be said already in a lot of responses. I'd say also make sure you give some explanation to your friend, beforehand and during the fight. There is a lot that is going on that can be easy to miss. If you've never watched a fight before it just looks like random flailing, with little skill or intent. I can see how it might seem boring to the un-aware eye.
Good for you for introducing someone to the sport. :D
