what qualifies a fight as a SUPER fight??

[revs1227]

wa shaving a discusion with a friend and he brought up us going to cotto marg 2 in a week and said .." so this will be the biggest fight you have been to" .."most crowded super fight ?" and i said absolutely not as i have attend fights such as (pac marquez 3 ) (pac hatton) pavlik hopkins and dozens of other fights
he said well "mgm is small" only holding ab 16,000 max i think where teh garden holds 20k

imo tho attendance isnt what qualifies a superfight i think its more
media coverage ..espn ..24/7 ..type stuff
ppv numbers i would say around a million plus buys
to me as of right now there cant be a super fight that does not have floyd or pac participating in it

imo i have only been to two superfights pac hatton and pac marquez 3
but in other ppls opinons those arent even supper fights ?
and cotto marg 2s? bigger?

i need other peoples opinions on this

The last bonified superfight IMO was Oscar-Tito.

Floyd-Pacman is the only one that can be made currently. Although being Pacman just got a gift & a boxing lesson from a lightweight, I'm not even sure that it can be considered a superfight anymore.

are you ******ed?

what kind of question is this?

[Gordon Gekko]

Two very popular fighters in the same division who seem to be equally matched and seem to be unbeatable.

Some do say that, but not me. Oscar won that fight & Quartey was rather lucky the fight wasn't stopped & that was a 10-8 round for Oscar either way.

Ohh by the way, Oscar-Bazooka Ike was a contest between 2 elite welterweights both undifeated. Not a lightweight 9-1 underdog schooling the supposed #1 pfp fighter, 2 weight classes north of his current max fighting weight.

Schaeffer said it was a fight that they estimate would make at least a million buys. OR that might have been a mega fight?

Superfights are when immensely popular boxers get in the ring together. Obviously Pacquiao-Mayweather, but also if Klitschko vs. Klitschko ever happened.

Skill and record don't mean much, it's all about popularity. It would be a superfight if Alvarez and Chavez fought, because Mexico would go crazy.
