Is it really the biggest fight of all time?

[Kevin Jesus]

I think it's not the biggest fight of all time, just the biggest fight of this decade and you can make a case that hype-wise it's the biggest WW match-up since Hagler-Hearns, Duran-Leonard, Leonard-Hearns. I'm no boxing historian but that is my opinion. I think this is just the biggest WW fight since the 80s that will possibly be the richest boxing fight of all time.

I don't know bro I remember the hype for Oscar-Trinidad was crazy. It really didn't live up to the hype. But, going that was insane.

Lol damn you are a good poster man idk why you are red. I see a lot of decent posters in red k. That is Boxingscene I guess.

I was wondering the same thing. I suggest any objective poster throw him some green though, that post was definitely worthy.

I remember rooting for Trinidad in that fight. It was big but compare that to how boxing is now. How boxing is 'dying', how MMA is 'taking over' and stuff like that. Trinidad-DLH happened when boxing was thee combat sport to watch, it had no competition. There was also Tyson, Jones, Lewis, Holyfield and the Heavyweight division was alive at that time. Right now the HW division is dead. Basically, Welterweight is our current HW division. The WW fighters are doing numbers that HW's should be doing.

Pacquiao-Mayweather is in a state where it is up to them to keep boxing alive. The WW division has the whole world on it's shoulder and that just says everything about this fight. Numbers-wise, hype-wise, everything-wise, Pacquiao-Mayweather IS our Heavyweight fight.

I gave him some green. He is actually a good poster.

I like the last line "Pacquiao-Mayweather IS our Heavyweight fight." Which is true I agree.

If Mayweather-Pacquiao comes off is it really the biggest fight of all time? Bigger than Ali-Frazier 1? Bigger than Louis-Schmeling 2? Johnson-Jeffries? Or is it just a bigger fight because of PPV? Millions and millions of people were focused on these three other fights when there was no PPV. Everyone in the world was focused on them. What makes this fight bigger and more significant?

Same question bothering me, bro. I mean how sure are they that this fight will surpass the 2.4 million PPV hits of hoya-may?
