Disagree, Cunningham is old and a has been, and I'm no big fan of Glaskov. The undercard is terrrrible for a PPV event, but solid for free tv.
wtf is a 5 star rated heavyweight? A lot of people had Scott beating Glaskov, so is he a 5 star rated heavyweight too? Also Chilemba and Lepikhin have fought nobody, the most notable name they've fought between the 2 of them is Bellew, and Chilemba didn't get the W. This is definitely not a PPV worthy undercard.
yup The only exception might be the upcoming Stevenson CBS card, but I wouldn't be shocked if that's blocked out too.
Glazkov vs Cunningham is a boxrec 5-star rated fight http://boxrec.com/5star.php Lepikhin vs Chilemba is a 4-star http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=390065&cat=boxer You can only get such a nice undercard only a few times a year. There's 1 next month and non else confirmed till summer.
LOL, I just checked and boxrec rates nearly everything 5. Glazkov and Cunningham is not a 5 star rated fight, and not a great undercard for a ppv event. No way would I pay PPV for a good main event fight on free tv, but a mediocre one for PPV, and the same goes for the undercard. If the undercards had someone like Glaskov vs Pulev/Stiverne caliber guy, and a Betribiev vs Alvarez it would be PPV worthy. I pity anyone that would shell out 65 bucks for this undercard.
same thing...if one of the quebec promoters is involved, be sure its on canadian ppv.....i bet david lemieux will now have his fights aired for free in canada, because he is no longer affiliated to gym....where as pascal is his own promotional company, he is signed with interbox, and still has ties to gym, otherwise you would not see yvon michel on rds bigging up pascal like a promoter would do personally i cant stand gym and interbox for that ****....they make a ppv out fo every match up they put out there...in the states ppv is only for the bigger fights, in quebec its every fight lol
This why though we have a strong boxing scene for a minimal market of 8 millions people (Quebec). The ROC doesn't care.
According to Canadian Boxing Star, a website bars/restaurants use to order fights for public events, only 4 bars in all of Canada are showing the bout.
boxrec rates nearly everything 5? Out of thousands of fights over the next 2 months there are a total of twelve 5-star fights which two of them is tonight. Moreover Lepikhin vs Chilemba is a more or less the same level fight with Beterbiev vs Alvarez as they are all ranked among top 5-15 by various organizations. In any case, you may not like this undercard, but statistically it's a very good undercard. Tonight is one of the top 10 fight nights of 2015, without a doubt.
That web site should get its fact straight. I mean, tons of bars/restaurant are showing the fight in Quebec.
My mistake, I forgot to mention it said excluding Quebec. So it's only 4 bars in Canada outside of Quebec.
