    Mayweather-Cotto will be the more eye pleasing fight. Khan might run and hold more in the rematch and Pac-Bradley will be messy.

      Mayweather vs Cotto. The name recognition will help bring interest, combined with a undercard with a lot of potential.

      But that seems to be said already in a lot of responses. I'd say also make sure you give some explanation to your friend, beforehand and during the fight. There is a lot that is going on that can be easy to miss. If you've never watched a fight before it just looks like random flailing, with little skill or intent. I can see how it might seem boring to the un-aware eye.

      Good for you for introducing someone to the sport.

          Can't go wrong with Khan v. Peterson. Cotto v. Mayweather should be a good bet too. I can see Bradley and Pacman going either way.

          Btw that poster for Pacquiao/Bradley is awful. It looks like a new flavor of Mountain Dew, not a big boxing match.

            Mayweather-Cotto don't let them miss out on watching a legend live.

              Khan vs Peterson based off the strength of the first fight

              Mayweather-Cotto will be a mismatch and noobs dont appreciate skill level at first.

              I wouldnt even advise a hardcore boxing fan to watch Tim Bradley

                  Khan Peterson but the names off May and Pac would be more enticing to the ordinary fan

                    This one...?



                    I don't think "perfect storm" sums up this fight at all well.
