    only reason it MIGHT actually work is because none of these guys is a PPV sell (except Taylor but much earlier in his career) and they can't ask for too much money because they are not hot comodities and they know it... Yet these guys are all great fighters and very much the top end of the middle and super middle division... This would never work in the WW division... and it definately would be something Showtime couldn't put together.. HBO would have fits trying to do it at WW and not enough money to go around.

    Its cool if its true.. but I think there is a better chance of hell freezing over. This is like when your homeboy asks you if your going to the game with him and it sounds great and fun and u still end up backing out... I don't see this happening but I can appreciate Sho for trying to put on a pleasing show...

      Best boxing news of the year if true. Bunch of great fights on that list. Im going with Kessler, but his inactivity may hurt him.

        The only fight Froch might win is against Taylor.

          Is Dirrell in it. He would easily beat Kessler

            Sounds good as hell.
            I'd like to see Abraham vs Taylor over here though.

                  Good point. Besides a protected fighter like Berto won't do something like that.

                    Really good news. Neither of those guys does MUCH postponements in their history, either. Could actually go thru and have a really classic tourney on our hands.

                    Well played, Showtime.

                      This honestly sounds too good to be true. Where did Showtime get the money for all of those fights?
                      It would be pretty amazing if it happened, I have to admit. Someone would probably walk away a legend, a couple of guys would probably walk away ruined.
