    Mayweather v Cotto or Khan v Peterson.

    For what ever reason I can foresee Bradley v Pacquiao turning into an ugly fight.

      I think Khan Peterson is going to be better than both. More even fight

        I'd bring them over for all three. All three can appeal to anyone really.

          It's hard to say. They would be more enticed by the names of Mayweather and Pacquiao. But Khan-Peterson would prolly end up being a more entertaining than the other two, even if just based on what happened in the first fight.

            Not to be "that guy" but if they're not a boxing fan, why would any fight appeal to them?

              I hesitantly picked Bradley vs Pacquiou - Both Timmy and Manny have a high workrate, and I suppose there could be a KO there.

              I think Mayweather vs Cotto has a ton of potential, but also runs the risk of a floyd shutout with Miguel chasing him with a dumbfounded look on his face.

              Khan vs Peterson probably the most even fight but theres going to be so much talk about "hometown advantage" and "Scorecards" and the way they'll trade punches but not hurt each other.... This just seems more of a fight for a boxing fan than a non-boxing fan.

                I'm not into basket ball but if I went to America and I started watching games with my cousin I would probably get into the sport.

                I don't really know how to answer such a ****** question.

                  Pac/Bradley...Pacquiao has an exciting style, and is vulnerable enough for his fights to keep a non-fan on the edge of their seats.

                  I did this experiment with each guys De La Hoya fight, and I remember some of my non boxing fan buddies saying after the Floyd fight "see this is why I don't watch boxing"
