Mayweather-Pacquiao : Is it the biggest fight ever?

[ILLuminato]

Hmm I dont know my dude. Ofcourse we werent around back then but this is a once in a lifetime fight just like some of the other great ones.

My Dad said its bigger than Tyson-Holyfiels which is why I made the thread and he said thats the craziest fight build up hes ever seen.

Bigger than Tyson vs. Holyfield, up there with Ali-Frazier 1, maybe equal to Ali-Frazier 3.

Actually, I'd say it's as big as Ali-Frazier 3.

Fights like Louis-Schmeling, Ali-Frazier 1, and Holmes-Cooney are not just about boxing. Those fights were about more than boxing.

It is the biggest fight ever in terms of PPV.

But, in terms of real life meaning. It does not come close to Louis-Schmelling and Ali-Frazier the first fight.

Exactly, it will be the biggest fight in history money wise but i still think that Louis vs Schmelling was much bigger it terms of repercutions and what it meant on the world stage.

Definitely the biggest fight ever. Surpasses DLH/Trinidad and ALI/Frazier.

It will be surprisingly one sided, though.

Right on. Louis-Schmeling II is probably the MOST important fight of all time!

Ey trust me dude Joe Louis is my guy but I left Louis-Schmelling , Robinson-Turpin, Johnson-Jeffries off the list because the world is at a different stage now. We not at war and all that racist **** has died down some. Now its strictly boxing.

"We not at war" Maybe not you, who's sitting at home. But i have two boys fighting in Iraq as i write this.

I meant not at war with Germany.

I dont have any kinds words about the "war" the United States is involved in now and I really dont want to go there right now. But with that said hope your kids make it back. Im about to have a daughter and shes not even born and I couldnt imagine losing her.

Money wise, this MIGHT be the biggest fight ever. It depends on ESPN and other large sports networks coverage. They were HUGE on Oscar/Floyd. That so far is the biggest MONEY WISE to date. It will definitely be the most one sided big fight IMO.

Biggest fight out of significance IMO is definitely Louis/Schemling. Ali-Fraizer 2nd.

This should be the biggest fight ever.

Most things have gone global now. Everyone can have their news updated every minute, 24/7.

And for those who see this as some kind of a contest between two countries, or races if you want, don't even go there. Once you become a big celebrity these days, you become automatically a world citizen. Everyone wants to root for you regardless of where you come from.

I agree, though, that is is strictly boxing. It should have no significance at all on everyone's personal life and outside of it.

Once it's over, it's over. It's pure entertainment.

I was trying not to get my hopes up for the fight until it is signed because I really don't want to get disappointed, but this thread just made me salivate for this fight more. Damn you TS!
