Let's be honest, they could have done a much better job with the undercard

    Sure everyone is tuning in for the main event, but this is pretty subpar. I mean for the so-called fight of the century, shouldn't we get a card that isn't too far from the mark? I'm enjoying myself tonight, but I can't help but think that we're all being ripped off here a bit.

    i actually think they should have gone a different route with this event

    NO boxing undercard fights

    Instead alternative entertainment. The arena probably isn't set up for a full rock concert but a few A List music stars capable of some acoustic sets

    also have live celebrity interviews with the celebs in the crowd, that could easily last 30 to 45 mins

    I wouldnt mind if there was no undercard at all. Its just something to decieve the audience believe they didnt pay for nothing in case the main fight results in an early KO.

    Well if you're asking for $100 for a PPV then I think you should give fans their moneys worth. The main event is great, but the undercard is lacking. That's what I believe anyways.

    I'd like to see a the Fab 4 participating in a round of soggy biscuit for the pre-fight entertainment.

    Here we go. None of this matters now, on to the main event!

    Ok, so the undercard had names on there, but it was like a Klitschko undercard.

    Absolutely awful, greed at it's most disgusting. After such lack lustre fights this main event has a lot to make up for. There's more than enough money here to at least make competitive fights. It doesn't need to be big names and hence big purses, just well matched fights.

    The short sightedness of it all. This is a huge opportunity to pull hundreds of thousands of new fans in... No, let's bore them to sleep.

    I'm the biggest Klitschko fan around, and I agree. This undercard was VERY LACKING for the "Fight of the century"
