    Ali vs Coopman. Ali was the greatest but he made easy TV money against one of the most undeserving title challengers of the last 40 years. But then again Klitschko made a career out of opponents like that. Not totally his fault, it's just that the heavyweight division was terrible up until now.

    Leonard Duran 3. Leonard ripped us off by playing it safe. Easy money. I was worried Floyd and Pac would be the same. And it happened. Too bad but both are still ATG's. At least Leonard was known for closing the show and he made the crowd go wild with his offence. Floyd will be remembered for his great defence and being offending.

    All of Tyson's fights after prison were all about the cash grab. Especially the Peter McNeeley farce.

    Gatti vs Gomez. That was sad.

      And I don't want to hear floyd-manny or any other major fight that happened to suck.. I'm talking about horrible cash grabs... I don't think anyone will top my selection..

      GOAT cash grab- 2006 mike Tyson had a PPv for a 4 round exhibition vs sparring partner Cory sanders ( and not the sanders that ko'd WLAD but the sanders that was a journeymen at best)
      Tyson fought in a T-shirt and sanders wore headgear... And yes I paid money to watch it..
      Only redeeming quality was Col. Bob Sheridan hyped the hell out of it during the broadcast.

      Can anyone top that cash grab event?

      Leonard/Duran 3

          Didn't even think of them
          To be honest but yeah defiantly those too. I think
          Mayweather Ortiz was also to be honest

Pascal dwindles in obscurity for years, wins against Bute in a pathetic affair, gets ****d by Kovalev, gets the robberyof the year, and now he's fighting Kovalev again??? Is Sergey so unknown that he has to stoop to that to get a payday? I was under the impression he was fairly popular.
            Hes the most popular in the division No doubt. He lacks that star making win though. But yeah it is a useless fight lol.
