    What's the next fight to do over 1 million buys?

    If Oscar retires, which I think he will, what fight can do huge numbers in America? Is there one, other than maybe if Floyd comes back?

        Hatton Pacquiao may do over a Million worldwide (if they sell it as a PPV in the UK)

          Pacquiao-Hatton might do 1 million. Maybe Arreola-Haye in 2010 if Haye somehow magically beat one of the Klitchkos and Arreola beats a few contenders on HBO.

          I don't know. Maybe DLH-Trinidad 2...even though that fight should not be allowed to happen.

              No chance. The heavies won't do that in our lifetime mate.

              Haye vs Arreola?? Seriously....no.

              Lewis Tyson didn't even make 2 mil buys I don't think.

                What about....

                UFC's Anderson Silva vs the once great Roy Jones Jr?

                For some reason Silva keeps talking about how he wants Roy in a boxing match, even though its a lose-lose for both of them. It could do big numbers with the MMA fans tuning in and marketed as the best striker in MMA vs one of the best boxers in his era. BTW, Silva is said to be the best in the UFC.

                    Worldwide yes, but I don't see two non-Americans fighting in England generating great buzz in the US.
