    it wouldn't even be bigger than haye-maccarinelli, tbh.

      Froch is not popular in the UK believe it or not. Cleverly is popular but not that popular since he is just a kid. Khan Vs Kell Brook would be twice as big

        Sergio Martinez Vs. Lucien Bute

        IMHO the two top middleweights right now... not with styles that would anulate each other... and guys that can box and punch and last... my pick Martinez.

        Chad Dawson Vs. Jean Pascal II

        A make or break fight for Pascal... and a change of redemption for Chad... my pick Chad Dawson.

        Amir Khan Vs. Timothy Bradley

        Tough one to happen for reasons we all know!... still a great fight, will Bradley be ready?... my pick Khan.

        Marcos Maidana vs. Devon Alexander
        Wait, that IS happening!

        Kessler vs. Froch II
        This time I think Froch will edge him.. if not, interesting scenario at Middlewight.
        Maidana Alexander Bradley Dawson and Martinez don't have big fanbeses

          Froch hasn't had the opportunity to fight at home a lot but people will get to know him real fast if that fight were to happen. Plus the Ward fight will be on Sky which is great exposure

            A money fight doesnt happen where during the money fight "people get to know him" in the actually money fight. You have to already be popular for that to happen and Froch is not

              I think you are really underrating Froch's popularity.

                No, you're completely overrating it. Ask Any UK fan of how popular he is

                  True to that.
                  I guess I just put what i want to see ;-)
                  But well, following your point, that depends where the fight happens... if Martinez fights in Argentina on a double card with Maidana, it would be much bigger than the US... but yes, as far as big money, I guess it's gone out of boxing. Of course HUGE payday fights have always been sparse... 4 to 5 names... or any interesting vendetta.
                  Great money fight would be Chavez Jr. VS. Alvarez IN mexico... just betting money from cartels would push this into insanity... hahaha.
