Favourite Promotional Titles For Fights...

Some of mine...

"The Showdown At Sundown" (Foreman-Frazier I)

"Thunder Meets Lightning" (Chavez-Taylor I)

"Once & Four All" (Marquez-Vazquez IV)

"Pacific Cyclone Meets Tijuana Tornado" (Pacquiao-Margarito)

"East VS West" (Pacquiao-Hatton)

 

"The KLIT vs. the PETER- Which One Gets LICKED?"

Not an ACTUAL Promotional Title for the Wladimir Klitschko vs. Samuel Peter Fight, but it SHOULD have Been...



REED:cheer:

 

Sound and the Fury - Tyson vs Holyfield II

You Got Any Excuses Tonight, Roy? - Jones vs Tarver II

 

What was the meaning of Sound & Fury?

 

I quite liked the word play for

Lewis
Tyson

The worst ever has to be "Who R U picking?" for Mayweather-Mosley. That was fucking awful

 

It is a famous novel

 

I liked the Lewis-Tyson. Id just turned 18 and though Im not a gambler, that fight was my first ever bet.

"Who R U Picking?" What is that!? Thats not even anything.

 

I know. Just dont see how it applies to the bout.

What about, "The Great Gatti?" Or The Great Katsy? Or Dempsey?

 

How much did you lose betting on Retro Mike?

 

I quite liked ''The Dream Match'' Pacquiao - DLH.

The LEWIS vs TYSON one is good.

Tyson - Golota was good. ''Showdown in Motown''

 

Not a chance. Put every penny I had on Lewis. It was a sure thing.

 

As a young, impressionable boxing fan I liked "Bad Blood" for De La Hoya/Vargas. Not much in terms of originality, but it'll always be a personal favourite.

 

I know man, it was atrocious, with the txt speak as well. Euurgh. If anyone suggested "Who R U picking?" as a promotional title I'd just reply with U R Fired

 

"Holyfield vs Tyson" (1991)

Best one. It didn't even need a silly slogan. That was all you needed in a promotion. Tyson the people's champion coming back to form after a shock defeat and Evander the new undisputed undefeated Heavyweight champion. Every man woman and child wanted to see that fight.

 

"Who's fooling Who?"

Benn Eubank (1991)

 

::

 

Yeah, thats awful. Not unlike the fight itself.

Nice line though ::

 

"Battle Of The Ages" - Holyfield-Foreman.

 

I often liked ones that used the location in the title such as "The Brawl in Montreal" & "The Thrilla in Manilla"

 

How about on The Simpsons, where Drederick Tatum takes a fight against a horse into international waters, where no laws apply?

"Slaughter In The Water," ::

 

I don't even remember that one but i like it. :::bears:

 

I think it wasnt shown, just someone pulled out the poster to show Homer what you could get away with out there. It was Tatum and a horse, gloved up and eyeballing each other something fierce ::

 

"Two Big" I think was the slogan for Lewis-Grant. Something like that anyway. T'was pretty good.

 

"The Birdcage"

 

Oh man, that makes me wanna fucking strangle whoever came up with the "concept" and whoever green lighted it. Utter retards, and easily the worst promotional slogan in boxing history.

 

Pacquiao-Mayweather if it comes off - "It's about @#^%@ time for christ sake! I mean really now!"

 

The title should be:

"Pound for Pound" or "Immortality beckons"

 

I'm pretty sure the first one was done. Second one is not bad, but needs "tweaking".

 

Don King had one for a Gerard McClellan fight, it was basically Gerald McClellan vs Nobody, and Don King entitled it "Global Warfare" :scratcher:

 

''Who Craves Immortality The Most Will Win''
