    The best/biggest fights are made IN the ring, after the fact, not with bs drama and boxers talking **** and Not delivering...

    Only way may vs pac become greatest of all Ike is if they brawl for 12 rounds and one KOs the other in the 12th... And we all ****ing know that ain't happening...

      I don't understand how PPV making these two more money makes it the "biggest" fight of all time. If you actually look at importance and audience and interest around the world, it probably doesn't even come close to the actual biggest fights ever.

      Bunch of people who really don't know **** on NSB.

        Both are ATG's and have beaten a lot of great fighters between them. I guess the only knock is that they are both not in there primes.
        Because the sport isn't nearly as popular or important as it used to be. It's really not the biggest fight ever in any regard except money, and it's only the biggest in that regard because of how much a screwjob PPV is. A Cotto fight is probably richer these days than Ali/Frazier could ever dream of. Doesn't make Cotto fights bigger.

          Ali-Fraizer and Ali-Foreman were bigger.

          The sport was different then, it was a lot more popular and mattered more to your everyday person.

          They're the biggest fights ever, probably.

          Leonard-Duran, Hearns-Hagler and Leonard-Hagler were massive fights too.

          Floyd-Pac is on their level.

          Floyd-Pac is one of the biggest ever for sure.

              if may pac was on bbc in uk, and nbc in us, do you know how many viewers it would get?

              ppv has changed a lot, some casuals are like, im not paying for boxing, but if it was on for free, they would likely be out there seats.

              hard to judge really

                Not the 75 million or so that Ali saw against Shavers on NBC.

                  The fact that we're discussing this topic clearly shows that May - Pac isn't the biggest fight of all time.

                  If the internet, mainstream TV, social media and all that crap were around Ali/Frazier days we wouldn't have this conversation at all.

                  Mayweather - Pacquiao is in the top 5, but it's certainly not the biggest.

                    What is all measures? I'm not adverse to it being considered the biggest, but these guys aren't in their prime any more.

                    This is why.
                    I'll be slow so both of you can understand.

                    IT IS the BIGGEST!!....
                    ...
                    ...

                    BIG equates to measures right? so mesures of what?

                    money? interest? legacy? aAHHHHHHHH

                    you experts must be thinking of LEGACY yaddi yadda.


                    for more or less TEN years. these 2 fighters are the BIGGEST NAME in boxing and who are you to say that ALi-Frazier I or Leonard-Duran are bigger than this? that would subjective and if we must use the word BIG we must be objective..or things we can really measure.
