Which fight to sell to nonboxing fan?

It's hard to say because each fight has an interesting thing to it. For glamor and glitz I'd say Cotto/Mayweather but if we're just going off the fight probably Khan/Peterson. Honestly though I'd go with Pac/Bradley because you have the glitz and glamor but it's also a good fight where Bradley could become a star and if not you still get to marvel at Pac's skills. All 3 fights bring something different to the game though.Comment

Based off the last fight, Khan - Peterson should be good but at the same time, Khan doing the moonwalk around the ring can be embarrassing...
Judging by Floyd vs Ortiz and Cottos career, that should be the pick really. Two highly skilled fighters, should be really entertaining stuff.
Pac hasn't had an exciting fight in years. The Marquez fight was exciting but Marquez fights always are.
Bradley is boring beyond belief....
So for me its Floyd V Miguel.Comment

Under promise, over deliver. With Pac, there's a perception that he's a little beast knocking out big fighters every time he fights. Truth is he has been disappointing his customers for a while and will likely do it again against Bradley. Add to that the fact that it's a TR card and you can almost bet you're friend will feel like you wasted his Saturday evening.
The Floyd Cotto fight is going to be more of an "event" for sports fans. You know you're watching the best and it will be similar to tuning into the Olympics to watch Hussein Bolt. Pacquiao is more of a spectacle but he's not delivering the show people are expecting from him.Comment

Actually you don't, Pacquiao needs a dance partner to look good in the ring. Look at his fighters where the opponent turtles up or goes on the defensive.It's hard to say because each fight has an interesting thing to it. For glamor and glitz I'd say Cotto/Mayweather but if we're just going off the fight probably Khan/Peterson.

The fight has the potential to turn ugly, Bradley's fight with Allexander showed that he is unwilling ( rightfully) to put him self at a disadvantage just to start the offense meaning much of the fight will be the fighter circling one another trying to create a favorable angle. That aside I can see Bradley trying to smother Pacquiao.
For a boxing fan the fight will be interesting for a casual I can see it boring them.Comment

by what date?
if in a rush then obviously the may/cotto ppv. i think the main event will be pretty good and canelo/mosley should be a war. PLUS, you can tune in for the main event on fox diaz/miller hopefully before those two fights start... assuming this person is into mma only?Comment

if they not a boxing fan anything with
the name Pacquiao or Mayweather will appeal to
them,
if the friend is Puerto Rican
anything with Cotto or any
Rican boxer
but in reality I don't like watching
boxing with non boxing fans
because you have to explain things to themComment

Peterson-Khan easily. I expect it to be exactly the same as the first time.
Mayweather-Cotto will be one-sided, Pac-Bradley will likely be ugly.Comment

Mayweather-cotto by far imo.
With pac-bradley, im half-expecting a not so competitive fight. Styles make fights, and pac is alot better at what bradley does, long story short.
Khan-peterson will be a good fight, but im not sure how much appeal it would have to a non boxing fan. Its more of a boxing fans fight.
With mayweather-cotto, you know cotto's gonna bring it. Its either gonna be a tremendous fight, with both fighters showcasing world class talent, or its gonna be a tremendous fight, with cotto bringing it but mayweather rising above and showing his greatness. In anycase, i expect a casual/non boxing fan to be able to enjoy this one.Comment

i would say khan peterson, if its similar 2 the first fight (both men taking a lot of shots) then it could be a good first fight 2 watch. if u show them the build up 2 the mayweather cotto fight then tht could b a good one also just cause mayweather has tht effect on people. The pac/bradley fight i feel will turn ugly pretty fastComment
