I think the fight everyone really wants to see is Floyd vs a "fifty years younger" Larry Merchant, if modern science can find a way reversing the effects of ageing by half a century i think all the smack talk is in place for this to be the new PPV record.

You guys are crazy if you think the fight won’t do well. It will be the highest grossing PPV all year.

Plenty of people will buy it with a few bucks lumped into selling the thing but both will take significant pay cuts.
It's the seniors tour plain and simple.

Maybe they can introduce the WBC Super Gray Oldies Belt.

Damn you I told you stop that making up belts.
I blame you for the fractured state of the sport.

Yeah I don't think his ego will allow him to steer clear, but the fight won't do that well financially.

How do you get people to buy a PPV between a 40 y/o vs 42 y/o for $74.99? Some FMJ haters might buy it if they think Pac can take him out, as you allude to.
