Boxing: Give me 3 fights involving active fighters that beat Mayweather/ Canelo numbers?

Mayweather vs Pac is the only one.

I can't even come up w/ two. Maybe if Vitali didn't retire and fought Wladimir that would be another one, but that's something that obviously wouldn't happen.

Mayweather vs Canelo numbers were HUGE. Nobody besides a fight between him and Pac would beat their numbers.

1. Pacquiao-Mayweather

2. Wladimir vs Vitali Klitscho

3. Canelo vs Chavez Jnr on Cinco De Mayo (long shot)

What do you mean by numbers?

Please specify.



If you mean ppv sale numbers than only Mayweather-Oscar sold more ppv.



If by numbers you mean spectators [seats sold] for the match than there is a long list; back when boxing was America's #2 sport there were several fights that sold out baseball stadiums. For example; Dempsey-Tunney had 120,000 fans in the fight. Just for reference; the superbowl sells about 82,500 seats. The reason boxing sold even more seats back in the day is because the field was filled with seats allowing for about 40,000 more spectators! 120,000 cheering fans is ALLOT, the electricity in those events must have been astounding.



If by numbers you mean cable viewing than it's impossible to say. Back before PPV fights were televised publicly. When men like Louis fought the streets were quiet and empty but there is no accurate way to measure the televise audience at the time.

Plenty of fights had more numbers than Mayweather Alvarez.



Mayweather-Alvarez; total punches thrown; 1031 Total punches landed; 349



Basically every Manny Pacquiao fight has more numbers according to compubox.



For example;



Pacquiao-Margarito; total punches thrown; 1886. Total punches landed; 703.



In that fight Manny Pacquiao alone threw more and landed more punches then both Mayweather and Canelo did together!

pac v. maywether, thats all I can think of...

megafight market doesnt only include the philippines but the entire asia, the brits loves pacquiao, the americans too... maybe the whole world will watch it even more after 4 years of hype
