    Which fighters are PPV worthy in a year?

    I wonder if boxing is headed into a recession. How many fighters do we have that are pay-per-view worthy?

    Delahoya, Hopkins, Calzaghe, RJJ, and Mayweather will soon be gone.

    Who do you guys feel is PPV worthy in a year?

    Its not about any one fighter, its the fight, so it depends who any one boxer is facing.

    I'd pay PPV to see any combo of the following:

    Haye, Klitschcko (!)

    Kessler, Abraham, Pavlik

    Cotto, Williams, Margarito,

    Pacquiao, Juan Diaz, Nate Campbell, Casamayor, Guzman, Katsidis

    ...and loads more that I can't be bothered to think of

      I like to watch exciting fights, so I only ppv fights that I know will bring excitement.

      Heaven - Margarito VS Pacman - I can dream

      Hell - Hopkins VS Mayweather - I would wish to be put to sleep

        If Margarito gets another decent sized win, he would be.

        Aside from him; Cotto, Pacquiao, Pavlik, Taylor (could be) and in a year, other up and comers will/could have the fight that pushes them over the limit.

          What about the heavies? Does the eastern-european dominance matter so much so that they wont be on PPV?

            the only heavy PPV i can see in the future is Klitschko vs haye. that's it. People here know who klitschko is (sort of) and are beginning to know haye. Also, I'd imagine there would be a ton of hype if that were to go down which would create a buzz. As far as the others guys, no one knows who the hell they are.

            And I don't think it has that much too with the fact they are eastern-european, more so that they all suck and/or are boring as **** to watch. If there was a Mike Tyson version but from europe, americans would watch/love him. If David Haye, for example, could become the next great-exciting heavyweight, I think he'd be a star here.
